WARNING!
•Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H,” turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
• A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And
Maintenance.” Follow the warnings under the Cool-

Oil Change Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi-
cator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message will
appear in the instrument cluster display for approximately
5 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time the ignition is placed in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and
release the MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator
system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer
to the following procedure.
1. Place the ignition in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) posi-tion. (Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
TRIP COMPUTER
The Trip Computer is located in the instrument cluster. It
displays trip information such as: trip information, range,
fuel consumption, average speed, and travel time.
Trip Button
The TRIP button, located on the right steering column
stalk, can be used to display and to reset the previously
described values.
• A short button push displays the different values.
• A long button push resets the system and starts a new
trip.
Trip Functions
Both trip functions are resettable (reset — start of new trip).
“Trip A” can be used to display the figures relating to:
• Trip Distance A
• Average Fuel Consumption
• Average Speed A
• Travel Time A (Driving Time)

does not come on when turning the ignition switch from
OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor
quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through
several typical driving styles. In most situations, the ve-
hicle will drive normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert
serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of
power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this occurs.4
