Engine Coolant Temperature

cap while the engine is running or hot.
At normal operating temperature, the
needle remains in the center section.
Note:
Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been determined
and resolved.

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 218).
Fuel Gauge
Note: : The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal.
Note: It may take a short time for the
needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different gas
pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers at about 50
miles (80 km). The low fuel warning light
will light, a warning chime will sound and
a pop up will be shown in the display
indicating the remaining distance to empty.
You will also get a subsequent reminder
at 20, 10 and 0 miles. WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
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 operate the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control Indicator
(If Equipped) It illuminates when you switch
the system on.
It illuminates white when the system is in
standby mode. It illuminates green when
you set the adaptive cruise speed.
Airbag Warning Lamp If it does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, continues
to flash or remains on when the
engine is running, this indicates a
malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

LO, the system is set to permanent cooling.
If you select HI, the system is set to
permanent heating.
Note: If you select LO or HI, the system
does not maintain a stable temperature. Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver
’s side and passenger ’s side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver ’s side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger ’s side.
To switch back to single zone control from
dual zone, press and hold AUTO for a few
seconds. The passenger ’s side temperature
switches to the driver ’s side temperature
setting.

Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger
’s
side using the rotary control on the
passenger ’s side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver ’s side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the driver ’s
side and passenger ’s side temperatures
independently. The display shows the
temperature settings for each side.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield. Note:
To improve the time to reach comfort
in hot weather, drive with the windows fully
open until you feel cold air through the air
vents.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.

HEATED SEATS (If Equipped)
WARNING
People who are unable to feel pain
to their skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal
cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow
the seat to dry thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless the
engine is running. Doing so can cause
the battery to lose charge. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and off.
Warmer settings are indicated by more
indicator lights.
