WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in a collision causing serious
injury or death.
When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep.
The beep is your signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE:
If you do not say a command
within a few seconds, the system
will present you with a list of op-
tions.
If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command
button while the system is speaking is
known as “barging in.” The system
will be interrupted, and after the
beep, you can add or change com- mands. This will become helpful once
you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words
“Cancel”, “Help” or “Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
the heater/air conditioning fan is set
to low.
At any point, if the system does not
recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press
the Voice Command
button and
say “Help” or “Main Menu”.

17. Vehicle Security Light (for
versions/markets, where provided)This light will flash at a fast
rate for approximately
15 seconds, when the ve-
hicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
18. 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 reservoir.
If the light remains on when the park-
ing brake has been disengaged, and
the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with
the Brake Booster has been detected
by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
/ Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will re-
main on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to
the brake booster, the ABS pump will
run when applying the brake and a
brake pedal pulsation may be felt dur-
ing each stop.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. A leak in either half of the
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 maneu-
vers, which change fluid level con-
ditions. The vehicle should have
service performed, and the brake
fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immedi-
ate repair is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red 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 the Anti-Lock
Brake System (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.
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 two sec-
onds. 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.
168
The light also will turn on when the
parking brake is applied with the ig-
nition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the
parking brake is applied. It does
not show the degree of brake ap-
plication.
19. Seat Belt Reminder LightWhen 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 or front pas-
senger's seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound. After the bulb
check or when driving, if the driver's
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will illuminate
and the chime will sound. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information. 20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is
op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
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” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the en-
gine off immediately and call an au-
thorized dealership for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. You or others could be badly
burned by steam or boiling coolant.
You may want to call an authorized
dealership for service if your vehicle
overheats. If you decide to look un-
der the hood yourself, see “Main-
taining Your Vehicle”. Follow the
warnings under the Cooling System
Pressure Cap paragraph.
21. Rear Fog Light Indicator This indicator will illuminate
when the rear fog lights are
on. (Refer to “Lights” in “Un-
derstanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion).

LW, or to CD mode, depending on
which radio is in the vehicle.
The left-hand rocker switch has a
pushbutton in the center. The func-
tion of the left-hand switch is differ-
ent, depending on which mode you
are in.
The following describes the left-hand
rocker switch operation in each mode.
Radio Operation
Pressing the top of the switch will
SEEK up for the next listenable sta-
tion, and pressing the bottom of the

grammed in the radio preset pushbut-
ton.
CD Player
Pressing the top of the switch once
will go to the next track on the CD.
Pressing the bottom of the switch once
will go to the beginning of the current
track, or to the beginning of the pre-vious track if it is within one second
after the current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down
twice it plays the second track; three
times, it will play the third, etc.
The button in the center of the left-
hand switch has no function in this
mode.
CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the sur-
face with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in
playing a particular disc, it may be
damaged (i.e., scratched, reflective
coating removed, a hair, moisture
or dew on the disc) oversized, or
have protection encoding. Try a
known good disc before consider-
ing disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows
you to regulate the temperature,
amount, and direction of air circulat-
ing throughout the vehicle. The con-
trols are located on the instrument
panel, below the radio.
MANUAL HEATING AND
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)
The controls for the manual system in
this vehicle contain a series of outer
rotary dials and inner push knobs.
These comfort controls can be set to
obtain desired interior conditions.
With the Three-Zone Temperature
Control system, each front seat occu-
pant can independently control the
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Condi-
tioning operations coming from the
outlets on their side of the vehicle.
The primary control for the rear
blower is on the front climate control
unit located on the instrument panel.
When the front control is in any posi-
tion other than rear, the front control
operates all the rear functions.The rear airflow modes will mirror the
front unit operation. Rear Panel mode
is automatically selected when the
front control is in the Panel mode.
When the front unit is in Bi-Level
mode, airflow will be emitted from
both the upper and lower rear outlets.
When the front control is in Floor,
Defrost, or Mix modes, airflow will be
directed out of the rear floor outlets.
1. Left Front Temperature Control
Provides left front seat occupant with
independent temperature control.
Turn left for cooler or right for
warmer temperature settings.
2. Rear Blower Control (for
versions/markets, where provided)
Use this control to regulate the
amount of air forced through the rear
system in any mode you select. The
rear blower speed increases as you
move the control to the right from the
“O” (Off) position. There are seven
blower speeds. To allow the rear over-
head control, turn blower knob fully
to the left, past The "O" off position.
3. Front Blower Control
Use this control to regulate the
amount of air forced through the sys-
tem in any mode you select. The
blower speed increases as you move
the control to the right from the “O”
(Off) position. There are seven blower
speeds.
4. Rear Temperature Control (for
versions/markets, where provided)
Provides temperature control for the
rear cabin. Turn left for cooler or right
for warmer temperature settings in
the rear cabin.
Manual Temperature Control

5. Right Front Temperature Control
Provides right front seat occupant
with independent temperature con-
trol. Turn left for cooler or right for
warmer temperature settings.
6. Mix ModeAir is directed through the floor,
defrost and side window demist
outlets. This setting works best
in cold or snowy conditions that re-
quire extra heat at the windshield.
This setting is good for maintaining
comfort, while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
7. Front Defrost Mode Air is directed through the
windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best wind-
shield and side window defrosting. NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor
may operate in Mix and Defrost, or
a blend of these modes even if the
A/C button is not pressed. This de-
humidifies the air to help dry the
windshield. To improve fuel
economy, use these modes only
when necessary.
8. Electronic Rear Window Defrost
Press this button to turn on the
rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (for
versions/markets, where provided).
An indicator in the button will illumi-
nate when the rear window defroster
is on. The rear window defroster au-
tomatically turns off after approxi-
mately 10 minutes. For an additional
five minutes of operation, press the
button a second time.
NOTE:
You can turn off the heated mir- ror feature at anytime by press-
ing the rear window defroster
switch a second time. To prevent excessive battery
drain, use the rear window de-
froster only when the engine is
operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating ele-
ments:
Use care when washing the inside
of the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance
from the window.

9. Recirculation Control Button
Press this button to choose
between outside air intake or
recirculation of the air inside
the vehicle. A lamp will illu-
minate when you are in Recirculation
mode. Only use the Recirculation mode
to temporarily block out any outside
odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the
interior rapidly upon initial start-up in
very hot or humid weather.
NOTE:
If the Recirculation button is
pressed when the system is in
Defrost mode the Recirculation
LED indicator will flash 3 times
to indicate Recirculation mode
is not allowed.
In Floor and Mix mode the sys- tem will turn off Recirculation
mode after five minutes of op-
eration. You can select Recircu-
lation mode again if desired.
Continuous use of the Recircu- lation mode may make the in-
side air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended. In cold or damp weather, the use
of the Recirculation mode will
cause windows to fog on the in-
side because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. For
maximum defogging, select the
outside air position.
In order to prevent fogging, when the Recirculation button is
pressed and the mode control is
set to Panel, the A/C will engage
automatically.
The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the
mode control selection.
10. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button Press and release to change
the current setting. The in-
dicator illuminates when
ON.
NOTE:
If your air conditioning perfor-
mance seems lower than expected,
check the front of the A/C con-
denser (located in front of the ra-
diator), for an accumulation of dirt
or insects. Clean with a gentle wa-
ter spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce
airflow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
11. Floor Mode Button
Air is directed through the floor
outlets with a small amount
through the defrost and side
window demist outlets.
12. Bi-Level Mode Button Air is directed through the panel
and floor outlets.
NOTE:
There is a difference in tempera-
ture (in any conditions other than
full cold or full hot), between the
upper and lower outlets for added
comfort. The warmer air goes to
the floor outlets. This feature gives
improved comfort during sunny
but cool conditions.
