DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
The red segments indicate the maxi-
mum permissible engine revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000) for each
gear range. Before reaching the red
area, ease up on the accelerator.
2. Front Fog Light Indicator (for
versions/markets, where provided)This indicator will illuminate
when the front fog lights are
on.
3. Park/Headlight ON Indicator
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided)
This indicator will illumi-
nate when the park lights or
headlights are turned on. 4. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the
exterior turn signal when the
turn signal lever is operated.
If the vehicle is driven 1.6 km with
either turn signal on, a continuous

6. Odometer Display / Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
Display (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Odometer Display / Trip Odometer
Display The odometer display shows
the total distance the vehicle has been
driven. U.S. Federal regulations require that
upon transfer of vehicle ownership,
the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has
been driven. If your odometer needs
to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer
reading the same as it was before the
repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero,
and a sticker must be placed in the
door jamb stating what the mileage
was before the repair or service. It is a
good idea for you to make a record of
the odometer reading before the
repair/service, so that you can be sure
that it is properly reset, or that the
door jamb sticker is accurate if the
odometer must be reset at zero.
This also displays Trip A and Trip B,
DTE, MPG or L/100km, OAT (Out-
side Air Temperature) information to
Base Cluster, use STEP and RESET
button (on steering wheel) to access or
reset the display.168

operate at a fixed speed until addi-
tional speeds are selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the vol-
ume of air circulated in the vehicle
and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the following positions.
Panel ModeAir is directed through the out-
lets in the instrument panel.
These outlets can be adjusted for di-
rection, and turned on or off to control
airflow.

the rear, the center instrument
panel outlets can be directed to-
ward the rear seat passengers.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets, floor outlets and
defrost outlets. A slight amount of air
is also directed through the side win-
dow demister outlets. NOTE: In many temperature po-
sitions, the BI-LEVEL mode is de-
signed to provide cooler air out of
the panel outlets and warmer air
from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor out-
lets. A slight amount of air is
directed through the defrost and side
window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, de-
frost and side window demist
outlets. This mode works best in cold
or snowy conditions. It allows you to
stay comfortable, while keeping the
windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist out-
lets. Use DEFROST mode with maxi-
mum blower and temperature settings
for best windshield and side window
defrosting. NOTE: While operating in the
other modes, the system will not
automatically sense the presence
of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. DEFROST mode must be
manually selected to clear the
windshield and side glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When in A/C mode and the
ATC is set to a cool temperature, de-
humidified air flows through the air
outlets. If Economy mode is desired,
press the A/C button to turn off the
A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix, Floor or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system
shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.

Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
– Donotinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
– When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake
controller is not required.
– Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 450
kg loaded, it should have its own
brakes, and they should be of ad-
equate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lin-
ing wear, higher brake pedal effort,
and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes toyour vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an ac-
cident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in an accident.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stop lights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a seven-pin or a thirteen-pin wiring
harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring
into the vehicles wiring harness. The electrical connections are all
complete to the vehicle but you must
mate the harness to a trailer connec-
tor.

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel
wool, a bristle brush, or metal pol-
ishes. Do not use oven cleaner.
These products may damage the
wheel’s protective finish. Avoid au-
tomatic car washes that use acidic
solutions or harsh brushes that may
damage the wheel’s protective fin-
ish. Use only the approved wheel
cleaners or equivalent.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue. For grease stains, apply a high
quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface.
Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlights and fog lights (if
equipped) that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than
glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
