Vehicle Odometer Messages
When the appropriate conditions ex-
ist, the odometer will display the fol-
lowing messages:
LoW tirE. . . . . . Low Tire Pressure
HOTOIL . . Engine Oil Temperature
Exceeds Safe Threshold
gASCAP . . . . . . . . . Fuel Cap Fault
CHANgE OIL . Oil Change Required
noFUSE . . . . . IOD Fuse Is Missing
no buS . . . . Cluster Does Not Have
Communication With The CAN BUS.
NOTE: Warnings such as ”Low
Tire,” “Door Ajar” and “Trunk
Ajar” will display in the EVIC.
(Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)” for specific
messages).
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition ex-
ists, the odometer display will toggle
between LoW and TirE for three
cycles. HOTOIL
When this message is displayed there
is a engine oil over-temperature con-
dition. When this condition occurs,
the “HOTOIL” message will be dis-
played in the odometer along with a
chime.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats”
in “What To Do In Emergencies”.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
“CHAngE OIL” message will flash in
the instrument cluster odometer for
approximately 12 seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate
the next scheduled oil change inter-
val. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate dependent upon your
personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue
to display each time you turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON/RUN” position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer
button on the instrument cluster. To
reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled main-
tenance) perform the following proce-
dure:
1.
Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the
engine).
2.
Fully depress the accelerator
pedal slowly 3 times within 10 sec-
onds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the
vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary,
repeat this procedure. 4.

Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC), refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)”.

26. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors emissions,
engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. The light will illumi-
nate when the key is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the
bulb does not come on when turning
the key from LOCK to ON/RUN, have
the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly
or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, card-
board, etc. This could result in
death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others. 27. Transmission Temperature
Warning Light
This light indicates that the
transmission fluid tempera-
ture is running hot. This
may occur with severe us-
age, such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and run the engine at
idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light
illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated and
you continue operating the vehicle,
in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.

WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the precau-
tions below to prevent carbon mon-
oxide poisoning:
 Do not inhale exhaust gases. Theycontain carbon monoxide, a col-
orless and odorless gas which can
kill. Never run the engine in a
closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running for an ex-
tended period of time. If the ve-
hicle is stopped in an open area
with the engine running for more
than a short period, adjust the
ventilation system to force fresh,
outside air into the vehicle.
Guard against carbon monoxide
with proper maintenance. Have
the exhaust system inspected every
time the vehicle is raised. Have any
abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive
with all side windows fully open.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
 Keep the liftgate closed when driving your vehicle to prevent
carbon monoxide and other poi-
sonous exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle.
ADDING FUEL
FUEL FILLER CAP
(GAS CAP)
The gas cap is behind the fuel filler
door, on the left rear quarter panel of
the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap
is for use with this vehicle. After removing the gas cap, place the
gas cap tether cable over a hook on
the inside of the fuel door. This keeps
the gas cap suspended away from and
protects the vehicle's surface.
NOTE: If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement
cap is for use with this vehicle.
Fuel Filler Door
Tether Cable
167

CAUTION!
 Damage to the fuel system oremission control system could re-
sult from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
 A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” to turn on.
 To avoid fuel spillage and over- filling, do not “top off” the fuel
tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.WARNING!
 Never have any smoking materi-als lit in or near the vehicle when
the gas cap is removed or the tank
is being filled.
 A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container
that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground
while filling. NOTE:
 Tighten the gas cap until you
hear a “clicking” sound. This is
an indication that the gas cap is
tightened properly. The MIL in
the instrument cluster may turn
on if the gas cap is not secured
properly. Make sure that the gas
cap is tightened each time the
vehicle is refueled.
 When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP
MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system deter-
mines that the fuel filler cap is loose,
improperly installed, or damaged, a
“CHECK GAS CAP” message will be
displayed in the EVIC (Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
Tighten the fuel filler cap properly
and press the odometer reset button to
turn the message off. If the problem
continues, the message will appear
the next time the vehicle is started.
Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic Sys-
tem” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for further information.
NOTE: If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement
cap is for use with this vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
Trailer towing with this vehicle is not
recommended.
