sometimes cannot function when
the vehicles interior temperature is
extremely high or low. Decrease/
increase the temperature
before use.
Caution
Do not force a compact disc into
the CD insert slot. This could
damage the CD and/or CD player.
Trying to load a CD with the CD
door closed could damage the CD
and/or CD player. Only one CD
can be loaded into the CD player
at a time.
If an error displays, see “CD Player
Messages” later in this section.
Care of CDs
Handle them carefully. Store CDs in
their original cases or other
protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD
player scans the bottom surface of
the disc. Do not touch the bottom
side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled,
clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth or
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution mixed
with water. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
The following CDs may not work
properly: Copy control compact
discs (CCCD), Recordable compact
discs (CD-R), and Rewritable
compact discs (CD-RW).
Do not use the following CDs as
they may cause the CD player to
malfunction, 8 cm (3.1 in) discs with
an adapter, CDs that are not round,
CDs with a paper label, CD that are
damaged, such as cracked, broken,
scratched, or with abnormal edges.
Inserting a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player pulls it in
and the CD should begin playing.
Ejecting a CD
X:
When pressed with a compact
disc loaded, the compact disc will
eject and the last source will be
played. When pressed twice with a
compact disc loaded, the compact
disc will be ejected further for easier
CD removal. If the disc is not
removed within 20 seconds, the disc
will reload.
Playing a CD
If the radio is already operating, it
automatically turns off and the
compact disc begins to play.
MEDIA : Press until the CD mode is
appears on the display when a CD
is loaded.
gSEEK/TRACKd: Press and
hold
gordfor 1.5 seconds while
the compact disc is playing to
reverse or fast forward the track
being played. The compact disc
plays at an increased speed while
reversing or fast forwarding. When
the control is released, the compact
disc returns to normal play speed.

.Gives freezing protection down
to−37 °C (−34 °F), outside
temperature
. Gives boiling protection up to
129 °C (265 °F), engine
temperature
. Protects against rust and
corrosion
. Will not damage aluminum parts
. Helps keep the proper engine
temperature
Caution
If the improper coolant mixture,
inhibitors, or additives are used in
the vehicle cooling system, the
engine could overheat and be
damaged. Too much water in the
mixture can freeze and crack
engine cooling parts. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Use only the
recommended engine coolant for
the cooling system. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0257. Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the trash, by pouring it
on the ground, or by pouring into
sewers, streams, or bodies of water.
Have the coolant changed by an
authorized service center, familiar
with legal requirements regarding
used coolant disposal. This will help
protect the environment and your
health.
Checking Engine Coolant
Level
{Warning
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
Caution
This vehicle has a specific
coolant fill procedure. Failure to
follow this procedure could cause
the engine to overheat and be
severely damaged.
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system can blow out
and burn you badly. Never turn
the cap when the cooling system,
including the surge tank pressure
cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling
system and surge tank pressure
cap to cool.
The vehicle must be on a level
surface when checking the coolant
level.

Vehicle Care 191
Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed.
The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:1. The engine coolant temperature is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn
back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature
high warning light illuminates,
this may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine to cool. If after checking
the oil and coolant, the oil
pressure low/engine coolant
temperature high warning light
remains on, do not continue to
drive. Call your dealer.
The malfunction indicator light may
also come on. If only it remains on,
you do not need to have the vehicle
towed, but have it inspected soon
by your dealer. For additional
information, see Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0181 for
reservoir location.
Caution
. Do not use washer fluid that
contains any type of water
repellent coating. This can
cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.

Service and Maintenance 245
Windshield wiper and washer* :
Check that the wipers and washer
operate properly and that the wipers
do not streak.
Under the Hood and Vehicle
The maintenance items listed here
should be checked periodically (for
example, each time you check the
engine oil or refuel).
Battery* :Check the fluid level in
each cell. The fluid should be at the
bottom of the filler opening. Vehicles
operated in high temperatures or
under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the battery fluid
level.
Care should be taken to avoid
situations that can lead to potential
battery discharge and potential
no-start conditions such as:
. Installation or extended use of
electronic accessories that
consume battery power when
the engine is not running (phone
chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.). .
Vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short
distances.
In these cases, the battery may
need to be charged to maintain
battery health.
Brake fluid level* : Make sure that
the brake fluid level is between the
MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level* : Check the
coolant level when the engine
is cold.
Engine drive belts : Make sure the
drive belts are not frayed, worn,
cracked, or oily.
Engine oil level* : Check the level
after parking the vehicle on a level
spot and turning off the engine. Wait
more than 15 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system : Make sure there
are no loose supports, cracks,
or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of
exhaust fumes, immediately have
the exhaust system inspected. It is
recommended that you see your dealer for this service. For additional
information, see
Engine Exhaust
0 149.
Fluid leaks : Check under the
vehicle for fuel, oil, water, or other
fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water
dripping from the air conditioner
after use is normal. If you notice any
leaks or if fuel fumes are evident,
check for the cause and have it
corrected immediately.
Radiator and hoses : Check the
front of the radiator and clean off
any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure
the hoses have no cracks,
deformation, rot, or loose
connections.
Underbody : The underbody is
frequently exposed to corrosive
substances such as those used on
icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these
substances, otherwise rust may
form on the floor pan, frame, fuel
lines, and around the exhaust
system. At the end of winter, the
underbody should be thoroughly
