GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System

(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake

Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD

failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along

with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS

system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be

checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF

position to the ON/RUN position. The light should

illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light

should then turn off unless the parking brake is

applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does

not illuminate, have the light inspected by an

authorized dealer.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake

is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN

position.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a

message is displayed to indicate that the

tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow

pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal

tire duration and fuel consumption may not be

guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition

mentioned above, the display will show the

indications corresponding to each tire.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should

be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the

inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different

size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard

or tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation pressure for

those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the

low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and

inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation

also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and

may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping

ability.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as

referenced above, can reach higher

temperatures than in normal operating

conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive

slowly or park over flammable substances such

as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could

result in death or serious injury to the driver,

occupants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the

vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel

economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,

severe catalytic converter damage and power

loss will soon occur. Immediate service is

required.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat

tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the

vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a

tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using

the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

127

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if underinflation has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system

is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure

telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated. This

sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When

the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the

system may not be able to detect or signal low tire

pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from

functioning properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated

Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.

This system monitors the performance of the

emissions, engine, and automatic transmission

control systems. When these systems are

operating properly, your vehicle will provide

excellent performance and fuel economy, as well

as emissions well within current government

regulations.

If any of these systems require service, the

OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and

other information to assist your service technician

in making repairs. Although your vehicle will

usually be drivable and not need towing, see an

authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

YBERSECURITY

Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a

connection port to allow access to information

related to the performance of your emissions

controls. Authorized service technicians may need

to access this information to assist with the

diagnosis and service of your vehicle and

emissions system

Ú

page 187.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause

further damage to the emission control

system. It could also affect fuel economy and

driveability. The vehicle must be serviced

before any emissions tests can be performed.

If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is

running, severe catalytic converter damage

and power loss will soon occur. Immediate

service is required.

WARNING!

ONLY an authorized service technician should

connect equipment to the OBD II connection

port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or

service your vehicle.

If unauthorized equipment is connected to the

OBD II connection port, such as a

driver-behavior tracking device, it may:

Be possible that vehicle systems,

including safety related systems, could be

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to

pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions

control system. Failure to pass could prevent

vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and

Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies

the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is

functioning and is not on when the

engine is running, and that the OBD II system is

ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready.

The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle

was recently serviced, recently had a depleted

battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II

system should be determined not ready for the

I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,

which you can use prior to going to the test station.

To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready,

you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to

start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the

ON position, you will see the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of

a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two

things will happen:

The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and

then return to being fully illuminated until

you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine.

This means that your vehicle's OBD II

system is not ready and you should not

proceed to the I/M station.

The MIL will not flash at all and will remain

fully illuminated until you place the ignition

in the off position or start the engine. This

means that your vehicle's OBD II system is

ready and you can proceed to the I/M

station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see

an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your

vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery

failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing

more than drive your vehicle as you normally would

in order for your OBD II system to update. A

recheck with the above test routine may then

indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system

is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during

normal vehicle operation you should have your

vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station.

The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the

MIL is on with the engine running.

sure the transmission is in PARK before

exiting the vehicle.

The transmission may not engage PARK if the

vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a

complete stop before shifting to PARK, and

verify that the transmission gear position indi

-

cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without

blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely

stopped, and the PARK position is properly

indicated, before exiting the vehicle.

It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than

idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing

the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate

quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose

control of the vehicle and hit someone or

something. Only shift into gear when the

engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly

pressing the brake pedal.

WARNING!

Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all

vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while

the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle,

always come to a complete stop, then apply

the parking brake, shift the transmission into

PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the

ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis

-

sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle

against unwanted movement.

When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the

key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing

children to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

-

sion gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do

not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN

position. A child could operate power

windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the

following precautions are not observed:

Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above

idle speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

WARNING!

If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h)

when the driver shifts into PARK, the

transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the

vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h)

and the above conditions are met, enabling

AutoPark. A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position

can roll. As an added precaution, always apply

the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

WARNING!

Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into

the throttle body air inlet opening in an

attempt to start the vehicle. This could result

in flash fire causing serious personal injury.

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to

get it started. Vehicles equipped with an auto

-

matic transmission cannot be started this

way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic

converter and once the engine has started,

ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.

If the vehicle has a discharged battery,

booster cables may be used to obtain a start

from a booster battery or the battery in

another vehicle. This type of start can be

dangerous if done improperly

UTTON

1. Place the gear selector in PARK, then push

and release the ENGINE START/STOP button.

2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF

position.

3. If the gear selector is not in PARK, the ENGINE

START/STOP button must be held for two

seconds or three short pushes in a row with

the vehicle speed above 5 mph (8 km/h)

before the engine will shut off. The ignition

switch position will remain in the ACC position

until the gear selector is in PARK and the

button is pushed twice to the OFF position.

If the gear selector is not in PARK and the

ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed once,

the instrument cluster will display a “Vehicle

(engine not running) position and the transmission

is in PARK, the system will automatically time out

after 30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition will

switch to the OFF position.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine and

permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical

outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), the

engine block heater is recommended. For ambient

temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the engine

block heater is required.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the

hood, behind to the passenger’s side headlamp.

Follow these steps to properly use the engine block

heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (behind

the passenger’s side headlamp).

2. Undo the hook-and-loop strap that secures the

heater cord in place.

3. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and

plug it into a grounded, three-wire extension

cord.

4. After the vehicle is running, reattach the cord

to the hook-and-loop strap and properly stow it

away behind the passenger’s side headlamp.

NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory

installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,

heater cords are available from an authorized

dealer.

The engine block heater will require 110 Volt AC

and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.

The engine block heater must be plugged in at

least one hour to have an adequate warming

effect on the engine.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the engine

and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your

vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles

(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),

speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are

desirable.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block

heater cord before driving. Damage to the

110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause

electrocution.

136

STARTING AND OPERATING

While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within

the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good

break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low

gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory

is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.

Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated

climate conditions under which vehicle operations

will occur. For the recommended viscosity and

quality grades

Ú

page 315.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first

few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This

should be considered a normal part of the break-in

and not interpreted as a problem.

PARKING BRAKE

RAKE

(EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers

simple operation, and some additional features

that make the parking brake more convenient and

useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent

the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before

leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking

brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK.
You can engage the parking brake in two ways;

Manually, by applying the EPB switch.

Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake

feature in the customer programmable features

Ú

page 188.

The EPB is located in the integrated center stack.

Electric Park Brake Switch

To apply the parking brake manually, push the

switch momentarily. You may hear a sound from

the back of the vehicle while the parking brake

engages. Once the parking brake is fully engaged,

the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster

and an indicator on the switch will illuminate.

If your foot is on the brake pedal while you apply

the parking brake, you may notice a small amount

of brake pedal movement. The parking brake can

be applied even when the ignition switch is OFF,

however, it can only be released when the ignition

switch in the ACC or ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch

is held for longer than 180 seconds. The light will

extinguish upon releasing the switch.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral

Oil in the engine or damage may result.

STARTING AND OPERATING

137

(Continued)

If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the

parking brake will automatically engage whenever

the transmission is placed into PARK. Once the

parking brake is engaged, the BRAKE warning

lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED

indicator on the switch will illuminate. If your foot is

on the brake pedal, you may notice a small amount

of brake pedal movement while the parking brake

is engaging.
The parking brake will release automatically when

the ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN position, the

transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, and the

driver seat belt is buckled and an attempt is made

to drive the vehicle away by pressing the

accelerator pedal.
To release the parking brake manually, the ignition

switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press on

the brake pedal, then push the parking brake

switch momentarily. You may hear a sound from

the back of the vehicle while the parking brake

disengages. You may also notice a small amount of

movement in the brake pedal. Once the parking

brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp

in the instrument cluster and the LED indicator on

the switch will extinguish.

NOTE:

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the

front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade

and away from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply

the parking brake before placing the gear selector

in PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission

locking mechanism may make it difficult to move

the gear selector out of PARK. The parking brake

should always be applied whenever the driver is

not in the vehicle.

WARNING!

Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when parked to guard

against vehicle movement and possible injury

or damage.

When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the

key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

-

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

-

sion gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle,

(or in a location accessible to children), and do

not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN

position. A child could operate power

windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to

brake failure and a collision.

Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause

damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may

allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or

injury.

Driving the vehicle with the parking brake

engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake

to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage

to the brake system.

CAUTION!

If the Brake System Warning Light remains on

with the parking brake released, a brake system

malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system

serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
