Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the temperature of the engine
coolant. At normal operating temperature
the indicator will remain in the center
section.
Fuel Gauge
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may
vary slightly when your vehicle is moving
or on a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side
of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
Low Fuel Reminder
Vehicles with Trip Computer
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) for MyKey and
50 mi (80 km) for all other keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Vehicles without Trip Computer
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the fuel gauge needle is at
1/16th. WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps will
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Anti-lock Braking System Warning
Lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction.
You will continue to have the normal
braking system (without anti-lock braking
system) unless the brake system warning
lamp is also illuminated.
Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
Brake System Warning Lamp It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and the
ignition is on. If it illuminates
when your vehicle is moving, make sure the
parking brake is disengaged. If the parking
brake is disengaged, this indicates low
brake fluid level or a brake system fault.
Have your vehicle checked immediately by
an authorized dealer.

WARNINGS
Do not fully close the hood, or allow
it to drop under its own weight when
using the engine block heater. This
could damage the power cable and may
cause an electrical short resulting in fire,
injury and property damage. Note:
The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles. •
Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
• Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the heater longer than three hours
does not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.

WARNINGS
You must move the transmission
selector lever to position P and fully
apply the parking brake before you
leave your vehicle. Failure to leave your
vehicle securely parked may lead to an
accident or injury. Your vehicle will not move while the
transmission selector lever is in P. You can
start the engine with the transmission
selector lever in this position.
Note:
An audible warning will sound if you
open the driver's door and you have not
moved the transmission selector lever to
park.
R (Reverse) WARNING
You must only select
R when your
vehicle is stationary and the engine
is at idle speed. Selecting
R when
your vehicle is moving or at a high engine
speed will damage the transmission or
lead to an accident or injury. With the transmission selector lever in
R,
power is transmitted to the drive wheels
to allow your vehicle to move backward.
You cannot start the engine with the
transmission selector lever in this position.
Note: Always come to a complete stop
before shifting the transmission selector
lever out of reverse.
N (Neutral)
With the transmission selector lever in
N,
power is not transmitted to the drive
wheels and the transmission is not locked,
it is possible your vehicle will move if the
brakes are not applied. You can start the
engine with the transmission selector lever
in this position. D (Drive)
With the transmission selector lever in
D,
your vehicle will shift automatically
through the forward gears. You cannot
start the engine with the transmission
selector lever in this position.
The transmission will select the
appropriate gear for optimum vehicle
performance and economy based on
ambient temperature, road gradient,
vehicle load, speed and your driving style.
When you use Drive mode it provides a
downshift function. See Downshift in this
section.
Note: A shift will occur only when your
vehicle and engine speeds are appropriate.
Sport Mode and Manual Shifting
Sport Mode
With the transmission selector lever in
S,
gears are selected quicker and at higher
engine speeds. You cannot start the engine
with the transmission selector lever in this
position.
Sport mode will remain on until you either
shift manually up or down the gears using
the
+ or - buttons on the side of the
transmission selector lever or you move
the transmission selector lever to drive.
When you use Sport mode it provides a
downshift function. See Downshift in this
section.
Manual Shifting WARNING
Do not permanently hold the
+ or -
buttons in. This may damage the
transmission and may lead to an
accident or injury. Press the
+ button to shift up and the -
button to shift down.
