Oil Life Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Required” message will display for approxi-
mately 10 seconds after a single chime has
sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indi-
cator 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 cycled to the
ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator after
performing the scheduled maintenance,
refer to the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF/LOCK 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL89
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which
eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the
compass may appear erratic, and the
instrument cluster display will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated. You may also
calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360–degree turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”
message displayed in the instrument cluster
display turns off. The compass will now function
normally.
NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface and
an environment free from large metallic objects
such as buildings, bridges, underground cables,
railroad tracks, etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL
indicator does not appear in the instrument
cluster display, you must put the compass into
the Calibration Mode manually, as follows:
1. Turn ON the ignition switch.

2. Push and release the
up or down arrow
button until the System Setup
(Customer-Programmable Features) menu
is reached, then push and release the right
arrow button.
3. Push and release the down button until
“Calibrate Compass” is displayed in the
instrument cluster display then push and
release the right button.
4. Push and release the right button to start
the calibration. The “CAL” indicator will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the “CAL” indicator turns off.
The compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To
compensate for the differences the variance
should be set for the zone where the vehicle is
driven, per the zone map. Once properly set, the
compass will automatically compensate for the differences, and provide the most accurate
compass heading. For the most accurate
compass performance, the compass must be
set using the following steps.
NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top of
the instrument panel, such as iPod's, Mobile
Phones, Laptops and Radar Detectors. This is
where the compass module is located, and it
can cause interference with the compass
sensor, and it may give false readings.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in
the instrument panel together with a dedicated
message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative and
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read carefully
in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different
based upon equipment options and current
vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and
may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and
will turn on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN
position. This light will illuminate with a single
chime when a fault with the air bag has been
detected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on during startup, stays
on, or turns on while driving, have the system
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various
brake functions, including brake fluid
level and parking brake application. If
the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been
corrected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop. The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when
the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
