Engine Temperature Warning
TelltaleThis telltale warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this telltale will illumi-
nate and a single chime will sound
after reaching a set threshold. Further
overheating will cause the tempera-
ture gauge to pass H,the telltale will
continuously flash and a continuous
chime will occur until the engine is
allowed to cool.
If the telltale 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 tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for more information.
Transmission Temperature
Warning Telltale
This telltale indicates that
the transmission fluid tem-
perature is running hot. This may occur with severe usage,
such as trailer towing. If this telltale
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into PARK and run the engine at idle
or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Tell-
tale illuminated will eventually
cause severe transmission damage
or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Telltale 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.
Electric Power Steering
Malfunction
This telltale is on when the
Electric Power Steering is
not operating and needs
service.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
is enabled on vehicles with a manual
transmission, or when a vehicle with
an automatic transmission is in
manual shift mode. The GSI provides
the driver with a visual indication
within the EVIC when the recom-
mended gear shift point has been
reached. This indication notifies the
driver that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the shift up indicator (+) is
shown on the display, the GSI is ad-
vising the driver to engage a higher
gear.

Average Fuel Economy / ECO Fuel
Saver Mode (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Shows the average fuel economy since
the last reset. When the fuel economy

cylinders, or if you are driving in a
fuel efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor
when you are driving in a fuel efficient
manner, and it can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel
economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can
be traveled with the fuel remaining in
the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of
the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current
fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset
through the SELECT button.
NOTE: Significant changes in
driving style or vehicle loading
will greatly affect the actual driv-
able distance of the vehicle, re-
gardless of the DTE displayed
value.
When the DTE value is less than
50 km estimated driving distance, the
DTE display will change to a “LOW
FUEL” message. This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of
fuel. Adding a significant amount of
fuel to the vehicle will turn off the

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 diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,
moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.

sidering 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 air conditioning and heating sys-
tem is designed to make you comfort-
able in all types of weather. This sys-
tem can be operated through either
the controls on the instrument panel
