WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK or the
manual transmission into FIRST gear or
REVERSE, apply the parking brake, then
turn the engine OFF, remove the key fob
from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle un-
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury
or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
REMOTE STARTING
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The system
has a range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and key
fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
• Gear selector in PARK
• Doors closed
• Hood closed
• Hazard switch off
• Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)Ignition Switch

garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monox-
ide is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep key fobs away from children. Op-
eration of the Remote Start System, win-
dows, door locks or other controls could
cause serious injury or death.

• Oil Change Required (with a single chime)
• ECO (Fuel Saver Indicator) — if equipped
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is en-
abled on vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica-
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the display, the
GSI is advising the driver to engage a higher
gear. When the down shift indicator is shown
on the display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a lower gear.
The GSI indicator remains illuminated until
the driver changes gear, or the driving condi-
tions return to a situation where changing gear
is not required to improve fuel consumption.
Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Required” message will display in the instru-
ment cluster display for approximately
10 seconds after a single chime has sounded
to indicate the next scheduled oil change
interval. The engine oil change indicator sys-
tem is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate de-
pendent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you turn the ignition switch
to the ON position. To turn off the message
temporarily, push and release theMENUbut-
ton. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled mainte-
nance), perform the following procedure:
WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in
the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicativeand 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 care-
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa-
tion 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 op-
tions and current vehicle status. Some tell-
tales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This light indicates 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.

— Battery Charge Warning Light
This light illuminates when the battery is not
charging properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc-
tion with the charging system. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electrical system or a related component.
— Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the light turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the
A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the ve-
hicle. If the temperature reading does not
return to normal, turn the engine off imme-
diately and call for service.
NOTE:
As the coolant temperature gauge ap-
proaches "H," this indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound.
— Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
Warning Light
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected while the vehicle is run-
ning, the light will either stay on or flash
depending on the nature of the problem.
Cycle the ignition when the vehicle is safely
and completely stopped and the transmission
is placed in the PARK position. The light
should turn off. If the light remains on with
the vehicle running, your vehicle will usually
be drivable; however, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
NOTE:
This light may turn on if the accelerator and
brake pedals are pressed at the same time.
If the light continues to flash when the ve-
hicle is running, immediate service is re-
quired and you may experience reduced per-
formance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing.
The light will come on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi-tion and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If
the light does not come on during starting,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If
the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as
possible. A chime will sound when this light
turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light does not indicate how
much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level
must be checked under the hood.

senger seat belt is unbuckled. When the
ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN or
ACC/ON/RUN position and if the driver’s seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound and the
light will turn on. When driving, if the driver
