CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR (If Equipped)
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment tothe front end of the vehicle (includingframe, bumper, front end bodystructure and tow hooks) may affect theperformance of the airbag system,increasing the risk of injury. Do not modifythe front end of the vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors which provideinformation to the restraints controlmodule. The restraints control moduledeploys (activates) the front safety beltpretensioners, driver airbag and passengerairbag. Based on the type of accident, therestraints control module will deploy theappropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in theinstrument cluster or by a backup tone ifthe warning light is not working. SeeInstrument Cluster (page 51). Routinemaintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after theignition is turned on.
•The readiness light will either flash orstay lit.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. Thetone pattern will repeat periodicallyuntil the problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in theevent of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and theairbag supplemental restraint system aredesigned to activate when the vehiclesustains frontal deceleration sufficient tocause the restraints control module todeploy a safety device.
The fact that the safety belt pretensionersor airbags did not activate in a crash doesnot mean that something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the restraintscontrol module determined the accidentconditions (such as crash severity, beltusage) were not appropriate to activatethese safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is toactivate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
•The design of the safety beltpretensioners is to activate in frontalor near-frontal crashes and may deployin rollovers if the vehicle is equippedwith roll stability control.
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Contact your authorized dealer as soon aspossible. Airbags must be disposed of byqualified personnel.

Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gaugeindicates approximately how much fuelyou have left in the fuel tank. The arrowadjacent to the fuel pump symbolindicates on which side of your vehicle thefuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, have an authorizeddealer check the system soon.
After refueling, some variability in theposition of the needle is normal:

•It may take a short time for the needleto reach F after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of the pavement at the gasstation.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of thepavement at the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
•There is a small reserve left in the tankwhen the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays andsounds when the distance to emptyreaches 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km),10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km).
Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature. Atnormal operating temperature, the levelindicator will be in the normal range. If theengine coolant temperature exceeds thenormal range, stop the vehicle as soon assafely possible, switch off the engine andlet the engine cool.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoircap when the engine is running orhot.
Battery Voltage Gauge
Indicates the battery voltage when theignition is in the on position. If the pointermoves and stays outside the normaloperating range, have an authorized dealercheck the vehicle’s electrical system assoon as possible.
Information Display
Odometer
Located in the bottom of the informationdisplay, the gauge registers the distanceyour vehicle travels.
Trip Computer
See Information Displays (page 56).
Vehicle Settings and Personalization
See Information Displays (page 56).
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates the engine oil pressure. Theneedle should stay in the normal operatingrange. If the needle falls below the normalrange, stop the vehicle and switch off theengine. Check the engine oil level and addoil if needed. If the oil level is correct, havean authorized dealer check the system.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps andindicators alert you to a vehicle conditionthat may become serious. Some lampsilluminate when you start your vehicle tomake sure they work. If any lamps remainon after starting your vehicle, refer to therespective system warning lamp for furtherinformation.
Note:Some warning indicators appear inthe information display and operate thesame as a warning lamp but do notilluminate when you start your vehicle.
