The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate
Control and (if equipped) the optional heated seats and
optional heated steering wheel depending on tempera-
tures outside and inside the car.
NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic
transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may
reduce this range.

The following messages will display in the instrument
cluster if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote
start prematurely:
• Remote Start Cancelled — Door Open
• Remote Start Cancelled — Hood Open
• Remote Start Cancelled — Fuel Low
• Remote Start Cancelled — Liftgate Open
• Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
• Remote Start Cancelled — Too Cold
• Remote Start Cancelled — Time Expired The message will stay active until the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN position.

wiper sensitivity. Setting two can be used if the driver
desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the
off (O) position when not using the system.
NOTE:
•The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice, or dried salt water is present on the
windshield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone
may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
using the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the
wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the
following conditions: •
Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is
first turned to RUN, the Rain Sensing system will not
operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle
speed is greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside
temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
• Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the
ignition is in RUN mode, and the automatic trans-
mission is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sens-
ing system will not operate until the wiper switch is
moved, vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h),
or the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL
position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped
with Remote Starting system, Rain Sensing wipers are
not operational when the vehicle is in the remote start
mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle and has
placed the ignition switch in RUN mode, rain sensing
wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and
no other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) ex-
ist.

NOTE:
•Before lifting the hood, check that the wiper arms are
not in motion and not in the lifted position.
• While lifting the hood, use both hands.
• Vehicle must be at a stop and the automatic trans-
mission must be in PARK. Manual transmission
vehicles must have the electric park brake engaged.
Closing
1. Hold up the hood with one hand and with the other hand remove the support rod from its seat and
reinsert it into the locking tab.
2. Lower the hood to approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from the engine compartment and drop it. Make sure
that the hood is completely closed.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving
your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it
could open when the vehicle is in motion and block
your vision. Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood
to close it. Lower hood to approximately 12 inches
(30 cm) and drop the hood to close. Make sure hood
is fully closed for both latches. Never drive vehicle
unless hood is fully closed, with both latches en-
gaged.

1. Speedometer•Indicates the speed of the car.
2. Fuel Level Gauge •The fuel gauge in the instrument cluster display
indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank.
• The light comes on, together with a chime and the
display of a message in the instrument cluster
display, when the gas tank has 1.5 to 2 gallons (5 to
7 liters) of fuel remaining.
3. Instrument Cluster Display •The vehicle can be equipped with multifunctional
instrument cluster display which offers useful in-
formation to the driver.
• With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and
the key removed, for vehicles with mechanical
key), opening/closing of a door will activate the
instrument cluster display for viewing, and display
the total miles or kilometers in the odometer.
4. Engine Coolant Temperature •The temperature gauge in the instrument cluster
display displays the temperature of the engine
coolant and starts providing indications when the
coolant temperature exceeds approximately 122° F. In the normal use of the car, the temperature gauge
can move in different directions based on the use of
the car. The light comes on, together with a chime
and the display of a message in the instrument
cluster display, to indicate an excessive increase in
the temperature of the engine coolant. Stop the
engine and contact you approved automotive
dealer.
5. Tachometer •Indicates the engine RPM.
NOTE: The illumination of the graphics on the instru-
ment cluster may vary according to the version (Mono-
color or Color display).
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and auto-
matic transmission control systems. When these sys-
tems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current government regu-
lations.

Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. 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 temperature reading does not return
to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
NOTE:
As the coolant temperature gauge approaches
H,a Red Dot lamp located to the left of the
“H” will illuminate and a single chime will sound. Further overheating will cause the tem-
perature gauge to pass H.In this case, a continuous chime will sound until the engine is
allowed to cool or the 4 minute duration is expired, whichever comes first.

Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
Red TelltaleLight What It Means
Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly until the vehicle is disarmed.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light
Red Telltale
Light What It Means
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected while the engine is running, the light will either stay on or flash de-
pending on the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle is safely and
completely stopped and the transmission is placed in the PARK position. The light should
turn off. If the light remains on with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be driv-
able; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light continues to flash when the engine is running, immediate service is required and
you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first placed in the
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not
come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
