Condition Indicators
These indicators may require you to perform an action.
Parking brake
Release the parking brake before driving. You will hear a beep if you drive with it not fully released. Seat belt reminder Make sure seat belts are fastened for you and all passengers. The indicator  blinks and beeps sound continuously if you or your front passenger has not fastened your seat belts when you begin driving. If the indicator remains on 
after seat belts are fastened, see your dealer. Door/tailgate open
A door or the tailgate is open. A beep sounds if any door or the tailgate is open while driving. Low fuel
Refuel as soon as possible. If the indicator blinks, there is a problem with the 
fuel gauge. See your dealer. Low tire pressure
Stop in a safe place, check tire pressures, and inlate tire(s) if necessary. If  the indicator remains on after tire inlation, you need to calibrate the system (see page 102). The indicator also appears if your vehicle is tted with the
compact spare tire. Have your regular tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Washer uid level (Canadian models only)
Washer uid is low. Rell the reservoir (see page 119).Maintenance Minder™ Scheduled maintenance for your vehicle is due (see page 113).

Immobilizer
Your key or remote transmitter cannot be recognized by the vehicle. If the 
indicator blinks, you may not be able to start the engine. Turn the vehicle off, and then on again. If it continues to blink, there may be a problem with the 
system. See your dealer.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®
), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA  off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering 
ability, but VSA traction and stability enhancement become less effective. Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a  beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator appears when the system is off. When VSA is turned off, traction control stops functioning, which may make it
easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.VSA OFF indicator
VSA OFF button
Cruise Control
Maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where you can travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.
CRUISE button RES/+ button -/SET button
CANCEL button
Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
WARNING
Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1.
Press CRUISE. The CRUISE MAIN indicator appears.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 25 mph/
40 km/h). Take your foot off the pedal and press 
-/SET to set the speed. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator  appears.
Adjusting the Vehicle Speed
Press RES/+ to increase or -/SET to decrease. Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is  increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If you keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or decreases until you release it.
Canceling Cruise Control
Press CANCEL or the brake pedal. The CRUISE CONTROL  indicator goes off. After cruise control has been canceled, you can still  resume the prior set speed by pressing RES/+ while driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h). Press CRUISE to turn the system off.
ECON Button*
Can help improve your fuel economy by adjusting the performance of the engine,  transmission, climate control system, and cruise control. Press the ECON button to turn the system on or off.  The ECON Mode indicator appears when the system is turned on.

Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested  under controlled conditions on a speciied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the 
minimum required by law.
WARNING:  The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that 
is properly inlated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinlation, or  excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. 
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the emissions testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks ive times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle emissions tested before the readiness codes  are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following: 1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral (manual transmission). Increase the 
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds. 7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed 
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with 
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear (manual transmission). Do not use cruise 
control. When trafc allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator
pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of trafic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban trafic for at least 10 minutes. When trafic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes. The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again  only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions. If an emissions testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you 
may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.
