Air Bag Warning LightYou will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo-
nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second
interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on
while driving. NOTE: If the speedometer, ta-
chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
the label located on the inside of
the fuse block cover for the proper
air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will as-
sist in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is de-
signed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal driving conditions and no per-
sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
55
switch is turned to the LOCK posi-
tion. Opening either front door will
cancel this feature.
For Vehicles Equipped With The
EVIC
The power sunroof switch will remain
active for up to approximately ten
minutes after the ignition switch is
turned to the LOCK position. Open-
ing either front door will cancel this
feature.
ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
Two 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets
are located on the lower instrument
panel, below the open storage bin.
The driver-side power outlet is con-
trolled by the ignition switch and the
passenger-side power outlet is con-
nected directly to the battery. The
driver-side power outlet will also op-
erate a conventional cigar lighter unit
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with an optional Smoker's
Package).
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximumpower of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at
12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13
Amp) power rating is exceeded
the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for ac- cessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power out-
lets as this will damage the outlet
and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
One outlet in the removable floor con-
sole (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) shares a fuse with the lower
outlet in the instrument panel and is also connected to the battery. Do not
exceed a maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) shared between the
lower panel outlet and the removable
floor console outlet.
On vehicles equipped with the Super
Console the power outlets are located
under the retractable cover. To access
the power outlets push down on the
cover and slide it toward the instru-
ment panel.
Instrument Panel Outlets
Super Console Outlets
Super Console Outlets
149
Each of these outlets can support 160
Watts (13 Amps). Do not exceed 160
Watts (13 Amps) for each of these
outlets.
The power outlets include tethered
caps, labeled with a key or battery
symbol indicating the power source.
The power outlet, located on the lower
instrument panel, is powered directly
from the battery. Items plugged into
this power outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent the engine
from starting.WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Accessories that draw higherpower (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.), will de-
grade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehi-
cle's battery.
Power outlets are designed for ac- cessory plugs only. Do not hang
any type of accessory or accessory
bracket from the plug. Improper
use of the power outlet can cause
damage.
SMOKERS PACKAGE KIT
With the optional authorized dealer-
installed Smokers Package Kit, a re-
movable ash receiver is inserted into
one of the two cupholders in the cen-
ter front instrument panel. To install

When cleaning the rear view mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts
with chemical solvents or abrasive
cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fab-
ric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild
soap solution or lukewarm water. Donot remove the belts from the car to
wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed
or worn or if the buckles do not work
properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After 30
minutes, pull the liner from the water
and dip it back into the water about
six times. This will loosen any remain-
ing debris. Rinse the liner thoroughly
under warm running water. Shake theexcess water from the liner and dry
the outer surfaces with a clean soft
cloth.
Installation
Place the liner into the cupholder
drawer and press the liner into place
so that the retention tabs seat into the
corresponding openings in the
drawer.FUSES
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, al-
ways use an appropriate replace-
ment fuse with the same amp rat-
ing as the original fuse. Never
replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace
a blown fuse with metal wires or
any other material. Failure to use
proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or prop-
erty damage.
