tion Center (EVIC) Display — If
Equipped” for further information.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition ex-
ists, the odometer display will toggle
between LoW and tirE for three
cycles. gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system deter-
mines that the fuel filler cap is loose,
improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the
odometer display area. Tighten the
fuel filler cap properly and press the
STEP button on the steering wheel to
turn off the message. If the problem
continues, the message will appear
the next time the vehicle is started.
noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system deter-
mines that the Ignition Off Draw
(IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or
damaged, a “noFUSE” message will
display in the odometer display area.
For further information on fuses and
fuse locations refer to “Fuses” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
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 con-
tinue to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, press and release the STEP
button on the steering wheel. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled mainte-
nance), perform the following steps.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the en-
gine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal,
slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the en-
gine, the oil change indicator sys-
tem did not reset. If necessary, re-
peat these steps.

illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is(Continued)

not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control sys-
tems. The light will illuminate when
the key is in the ON/RUN position,
before engine start. If the bulb does
not come on when turning the key
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the con-
dition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the MIL after en-
gine start. The vehicle should be ser-
viced 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.

amber caution telltales. These tell-
tales include:
Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level reaches
approximately 11.0 L this
light will turn on, and remain on until
fuel is added.
Loose Gascap Indicator (for
versions/markets, where provided)
If the vehicle diagnostic sys-
tem determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improp-
erly installed, or damaged,
a loose gascap indicator will display in
the telltale display area. Tighten the
fuel filler cap properly and press the SELECT button to turn off the mes-
sage. If the problem continues, the
message will appear the next time the
vehicle is started.
A loose, improperly installed, or dam-
aged fuel filler cap may also turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Windshield Washer Fluid Low
Indicator
This light will turn on to
indicate the windshield
washer fluid is low.
Wait To Start Light — Diesel

tion. Wait until the Wait To Start
Light turns OFF to start the engine.
(Refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further
information). Water In Fuel Indicator Light —
Diesel Engines Only
Indicates there is water de-
tected in the fuel filter. If
this light remains on, DO
NOT start the vehicle be-
fore you drain the water from the fuel
filter to prevent engine damage. Refer
to “Maintenance Procedures/ Drain-
ing Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for water
drain procedure.

For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more
than three hours) tire pressure of 2.4
BAR. If the ambient temperature is
20°C and the measured tire pressure
is 2.1 BAR, a temperature drop to
7°C will decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 1.8 BAR. This tire
pressure is sufficiently low enough to
turn on the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to
approximately 2.1 BAR, but the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will still be on. In this situation, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will turn off only after the tires
have been inflated to the vehicle’s rec-
ommended cold tire pressure value.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimizedfor the original equipment tires
and wheels. TPMS pressures have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Unde-
sirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use
aftermarket sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could dam-
age the TPMS sensor.
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to re- place normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or con-
dition. The TPMS should not be used as
a tire pressure gauge while ad-
justing your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the ve-
hicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure,
using an accurate tire pressure
gage, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light.”
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.

ADDING FUEL
LOCKING FUEL FILLER
CAP (GAS CAP) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The locking fuel filler cap is located
behind the fuel filler door, on the left
side of the vehicle. If the cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap
has been designed for use with this
vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's side sliding
door cannot be opened while the
fuel door is open. This feature op-
erates only when the sliding door
is fully closed prior to opening the
fuel door.
1. Insert the fuel cap key into the key
cylinder and turn the key to the right
to unlock.
2. Turn the gas cap knob to the left to
remove the cap.3. When tightening the filler cap,
tighten until two or three clicks are
heard to ensure that the cap is prop-
erly seated.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or
emissions control system could
result from using an improper
fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
A poorly fitting cap could let im-
purities into the fuel system and
may cause the “Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL)” to turn on,
due to fuel vapors escaping from
the system.
To avoid fuel spillage and over- filling, do not “top off” the fuel
tank after filling.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.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Never add fuel when the engine is running. It may cause the MIL to
turn on and could cause a fire.
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:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
This is an indication that the
fuel filler cap is properly
tightened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on.
Be sure the gas cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refu-
eled.
