GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE67
NOTE:
Before exiting the vehicle, make sure that the
interior lights are turned off. This will prevent the
battery from discharging once the doors are
closed.
If a light is left on, it will automatically be turned
off approximately 10 minutes after the ignition
is in the OFF position.
Rear Courtesy/Reading Lights —
If Equipped
Located above the rear passengers are
courtesy/reading lights. The lights turn on when a
front door, a sliding door or the liftgate is opened.
If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) the lights will also turn on when the
unlock button on the key fob is pushed.
The courtesy lights also function as reading lights.
Push the lens to turn these lights on while inside
the vehicle. Push the lens a second time to turn
each light off.
Ambient Light Control — If Equipped
Rotate the ambient dimmer control upward or
downward to increase or decrease the brightness
of the ambient light located in the door handle
lights, under instrument panel lights, door map
pocket lights, and cubby bin lights.

Ambient Light/Door Handle Light Dimmer

Interior Lighting Off
Rotate the dimmer control on the right to the off
position (extreme bottom). The interior lights will
remain off when the doors or liftgate are open.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
The instrument panel dimmer control is part of the
headlight switch, and is located on the driver’s side
of the instrument panel. With the parking lights or headlights on, rotate the
instrument panel dimmer control upward or
downward to increase or decrease the brightness
of the instrument panel. At the top detent of the
instrument panel dimmer, all the interior lights will
also illuminate. At the bottom most setting
(extreme bottom) interior lights are turned off
(dome off), and the cluster, radio and instrument
lighting go to their lowest dimmable setting.

Instrument Panel Dimmer

Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness
Feature)
Rotate the instrument panel dimmer control
upward to the first detent. This feature brightens
all text displays such as the odometer, instrument
cluster display, and radio when the position lights
or headlights are on.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, this
display shows the instrument cluster
display messages Ú page 113.
The display shows one of the main menu
items after the ignition is turned/placed on.
3. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within the
normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge can indicate a higher tempera -
ture when driving in hot weather or up
mountain grades. It should not be allowed
to exceed the upper limits of the normal
operating range. 5. Fuel GaugeThe gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/
RUN position.
 The fuel pump symbol points to
the side of the vehicle where the
fuel door is located.
NOTE:The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check
when the ignition is first cycled.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the
driver. With the ignition in the OFF position (and the
key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key),
opening/closing of a door will activate the display
for viewing, and display the total miles or
kilometers in the odometer. Your instrument
cluster display is designed to display important
information about your vehicle’s systems and
features. Using a driver interactive display located
on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster
display can show you how systems are working and
give you warnings when they are not. The steering
wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through
and enter the main menus and submenus. You can
access the specific information you want and
make selections and adjustments.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reaches “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off
until the gauge drops back into the normal range
and is no longer red. If the gauge remains on the
“H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
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

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE367
TIRE TYPES
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All season tires provide traction for all seasons
(Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). Traction
levels may vary between different all season tires.
All season tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S,
M/S or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all
season tires only in sets of four; failure to do so
may adversely affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires —
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not
designed for Winter or cold driving conditions.
Install Winter tires on your vehicle when ambient
temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads
are covered with ice or snow. For more
information, contact an authorized dealer. Summer tires do not contain the all season
designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on the
tire sidewall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow
tires during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified
by a “mountain/snowflake” symbol on the tire
sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the original
equipment tires. Use snow tires only in
sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle. Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than
what was originally equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained speeds over
75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an
authorized tire dealer for recommended safe
operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation
pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice,
skid and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces
may be poorer than that of non-studded tires.
Some states prohibit studded tires; therefore, local
laws should be checked before using these tire
types.SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead
of a spare tire Ú
page 306.
For restrictions when towing with a spare tire
designated for temporary emergency use
Ú page 183.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and
odometer readings.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions.
You could lose vehicle control, resulting in
severe injury or death. Driving too fast for
conditions also creates the possibility of loss of
vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do
not take your vehicle through an automatic car
wash with a compact or limited use temporary
spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may
result.
