WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use and
while driving the vehicle.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the en-
gine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher
power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.

CAUTION!(Continued)
 After the use of high power draw
accessories, or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with ac-
cessories still plugged in), the ve-
hicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the genera-
tor to recharge the vehicle'sbat-
tery.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading be-
low theH(red) mark of the gauge
shows that the engine cooling system
is operating properly. The gauge
pointer may show a higher than nor-
mal temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, in
heavy stop and go traffic, or when
towing a trailer.
If the pointer rises to the H(red)
mark, the instrument cluster will
sound a chime. Pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the H
(red) mark, turn the engine off imme-
diately and call for service.
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition. If your air conditioning is
on, turn it off. The air conditioning
system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning off the A/C re- moves this heat. You can also turn the
Temperature control to maximum
heat, the Mode control to Floor and
the Fan control to High. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
2. Fuel Door Reminder
This is a reminder that the
Fuel Filler Door is located
on the left side of the ve-
hicle.
3. Fuel Gauge
When the ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN position, the pointer will
show the level of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
4. Speedometer
Indicates the vehicle speed in miles
per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h). 5. Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level drops to ap-
proximately 7.6 Liters, the fuel
symbol will light and a single
chime will sound.
NOTE:
This light will remain on until a
minimum of approximately 11 Li-
ters of fuel is added.
6. Charging System Light This light shows the status of
the electrical charging system.
The light should come on briefly when
the ignition is first turned on and re-
main on briefly as a bulb check. If the
light stays on or comes on while driv-
ing, turn off some of the vehicle'selec-
trical devices, such as the Front Fog
Lights or Rear Window Defroster. If
the Charging System Light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is expe-
riencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDI-
ATELY. See your local authorized
dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.

while driving, have the system in-
spected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant
Restraints” in “Things To Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
8. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first
turned to ON/RUN, this light
will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check. During the
bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound. After
the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver seat belt remains unbuckled,
the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash
or remain on continuously. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information. 9. Oil Pressure Warning Light

starting, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
If the light comes on and remains on
while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine. DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE
CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
The light does not show the quantity
of oil in the engine. This can be deter-
mined using the procedure shown in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
10. Engine Temperature Warning
Light This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
engine coolant temperature
rise and the gauge approaches H, the
light will illuminate and a single
chime will sound after reaching a set
threshold. Further overheating will cause a continuous chime sound for
4 minutes or until the engine is al-
lowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If
the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for further informa-
tion.
11. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking
brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the park-
ing brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the108

dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light which will turn
on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the
cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily
during sharp cornering maneuvers
which change fluid level condi-
tions. The vehicle should have ser-
vice performed, and the brake
fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immedi-
ate repair is necessary.WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the brake
light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It will
take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately.Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock
brakes (ABS), are also equipped with
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure,
the Brake Warning Light will turn on
along with the ABS Light. Immediate
repair to the ABS system is required.
The operation of the Brake Warning
Light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from the OFF position
to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately
three seconds. The light should then
turn off unless the parking brake is
applied or a brake fault is detected. If
the light does not illuminate, have the
light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the
parking brake is applied with the ig-
nition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.

(ETC) Indicator Light
This light informs you of a
problem with the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC)
system. If a problem is de-
tected, the light will come on while the
engine is running. If the light remains
lit with the engine running, your ve-
hicle will usually be drivable and not
need towing, however see your autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as pos-
sible.
If the light is flashing when the engine
is running you may experience power
loss, an elevated/rough idle, and in-
creased brake pedal effort, and your
vehicle may require towing. Immedi-
ate service is required.
The light will come on when the igni-
tion switch is first turned on and re-
main on approximately 15 seconds as
a bulb check. This is normal. If the
light does not come on during start-
ing, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer. 18. Park/Headlight ON Indicator

21. Front Fog Light IndicatorThis indicator will illuminate
when the front fog lights are
on.
22. Vehicle Security Light This light will flash rapidly
for approximately 16 sec-
onds when the alarm sys-
tem is arming. The light
will begin to flash slowly indicating
that the system is armed. The light
will stop flashing when the vehicle is
disarmed.
23. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light This light monitors the
ABS. This light will come
on when the ignition key is
turned to the ON/RUN po-
sition and may stay on for approxi-
mately three seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or comes
on during driving, it indicates that the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake sys-
tem is not functioning and that service
is required, however, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate
normally provided that the BRAKE
warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake sys-
tem should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore the benefit of Anti-
Lock Brakes.
The ABS warning light should be
checked frequently to assure that it is
operating properly. Turn the ignition
key to the on position, but do not start
the vehicle. The light should come on.
If the light does not come on, have the
system inspected by an authorized
dealer.
24. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Malfunction In-
dicator Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position. It
should go out with the engine run-
ning. If the “ESC Malfunction Indica-
tor Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle
has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than
48 km/h, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the prob-
lem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
 The “ESC Off Indicator Light”
and the “ESC Malfunction Indi-
cator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN.
 Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will
be ON, even if it was turned off
previously.
 The ESC system will make buzz- ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC be-
comes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
25. Tire Pressure Monitoring
