headlight beam selection and the passing lights.
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of
the steering column.

Multifunction Lever

HEADLIGHTS
To turn on the headlights, turn the end of the
multifunction lever to the headlight position. When
the headlight switch is on, the parking lights,
taillights, license plate light, clearance lights and
instrument panel lights are also turned on. To turn
off the headlights, turn the end of the multifunction
lever back to the O (off) position.
NOTE:On vehicles sold in Canada, the rear parking lights,
clearance lights, sidemarker, plate lights and
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn on when
the headlight switch is rotated to the O (off)
position.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will come on
whenever the ignition is in the ON position, the
headlight switch is off, and a turn signal has not
been activated.
To activate the DRLs, rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to the O (off) position.
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime
Running Lights will automatically deactivate
when the front fog lights are turned on.
For vehicles not sold in Canada, the low beams
and side/taillights will not be on with DRLs.
In certain markets, the DRLs can be
programmed on or off through the Uconnect
system Ú page 79.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side
of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on
that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when
the hazard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Pull the multifunction lever toward the steering
wheel to switch the headlights to high beams. Pull
the multifunction lever again to turn the low beams
back on.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights
by lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you.
This will cause the high beam headlights to turn on,
and remain on, until the lever is released.
PARKING LIGHTS
These lights can only be turned on with the ignition
in the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position or removed.
Move the end of the multifunction lever to O (off)
position, and then to the headlight position.
The indicator light telltale in the instrument panel
comes on. The lights stay on until the next ignition
cycle is performed.

open positions. This is a normal occurrence and
can be minimized. If wind buffeting occurs, open
the front windows together to minimize the
buffeting.
WARNING!
The metal grates over the sliding door windows
are designed to protect you in the event of an
accident. Modification or removal of the grates
could lead to serious injury or death.

VALUES DISPLAYED
Range

This indicates the distance which may be traveled
with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that
driving conditions will not change. The message “----”
will appear on the display in the following cases:

Distance less than 30 miles (or 50 km).
The vehicle is parked for a long time with the
engine running.
NOTE:The range depends on several factors: driving
style, type of route (freeway, residential, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use of the vehicle (load,
tire pressure, etc.). Trip planning must take into
account the above notes.
Travel Distance
This value shows the distance covered since the
last reset.
Average Fuel Consumption
This value shows the approximate average
consumption since the last reset.
Current Fuel Consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “----” will appear
on the display if the vehicle is parked with the
engine running.
Average Speed
This value shows the vehicle's average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since the last
reset.
Travel Time
This value shows the time elapsed since the last
reset.
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 light will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or
MAR/ON/RUN position. If the light is
either not on during startup, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the system inspected by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with
the Air Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will
stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light comes
on intermittently or remains on while driving, have
an authorized dealer service the vehicle
immediately.

22_VM_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 44

STARTING AND OPERATING59
If the transmission becomes extremely hot, the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light may
illuminate and the transmission may operate
differently until the transmission cools down.

During cold temperatures, transmission
operation may be modified depending on engine
and transmission temperature as well as vehicle
speed. This feature improves warm up time of the
engine and transmission to achieve maximum
efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter
clutch, and shifts into EIGHTH or NINTH gear, are
inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm

Ú
page 59. Normal operation will resume once
the transmission temperature has risen to a
suitable level.

Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this
mode, the transmission may operate only in a fixed
gear, or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be driven to
an authorized dealer for service without damaging
the transmission. In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition OFF.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend
that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest
possible convenience. An authorized dealer has diag -
nostic equipment to assess the condition of your
transmission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.

Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy has
been included in the automatic transmission on
your vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter
engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This
may result in a slightly different feeling or response
during normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some
accelerations, the clutch automatically
disengages.
NOTE:The torque converter clutch will not engage until
the transmission fluid is warm [usually after 1 to
3 miles (2 to 5 km) of driving]. Because the engine
speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is
not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission is
not shifting properly when cold. This is normal. The
torque converter clutch will function normally once
the transmission is sufficiently warm.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The ERS shift control allows the driver to limit the
highest available gear. For example, if you set the
transmission gear limit to FIFTH gear, the
transmission will not shift above FIFTH gear, but
will shift through the lower gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at
any vehicle speed. When the gear selector is in the
DRIVE position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between all available gears.

Moving the gear selector to the ERS position (beside
DRIVE) will activate ERS mode, display the current
gear in the instrument cluster, and set that gear as
the top available gear. Once in ERS mode, moving
the gear selector forward “-” or rearward “+” will
change the top available gear, which will be
displayed in the instrument cluster.

To exit ERS mode, simply return the gear selector
to the DRIVE position.4
