The “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” message can sometimes be displayed while driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC system will recover after the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path this warning may temporarily occur.


Display Warnings And Maintenance


“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” Warning The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” warning will display when conditions temporarily limit system performance. This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may also become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, the EVIC will display “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” and the system will deactivate.


Clean Radar Sensor Warning


NOTE: If the ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” warning is active Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control is still available. For additional information refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this section. If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The sensor is located in the center of the vehicle behind the lower grille. To keep the ACC System operating properly, it is impor- tant to note the following maintenance items: • Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious not to damage the sensor lens. • Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing so could cause an ACC system malfunction or failure and require a sensor realignment.

• If the sensor is damaged due to a collision, see your • Do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or malfunction.


When the condition that deactivated the system is no longer present, the system will return to the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will resume function by simply reactivating it. NOTE: • If the “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at your authorized dealer.


234 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


• Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an after- market grille or modifying the grille is not recom- mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit ACC operation.


Removing ACC Sensor For Off-Roading NOTE: When off-roading, it may be advisable to remove the ACC sensor. The sensor is located behind the front lower grille in the center of the vehicle. After removing the lower fascia, you may remove the lower sensor and bracket assembly. To remove the sensor follow these instructions: 1. Unplug the connector by depressing the two tabs on the connector and pulling it out. Do not pull by the wiring or use any tools to remove the connector.


2. Remove the wiring christmas tree attachment from the


back of the bracket.


3. Remove the two M6 fasteners that connect the bracket


to the bumper.


NOTE: Do not change the adjustment fasteners or pull the sensor off of the bracket. Doing so may misalign the sensor. Store the sensor and bracket assembly in a safe location. The wiring and connector must be stowed properly after the sensor and bracket assembly is removed.


A connector plug is stowed on top of the bumper beam. Insert the wiring connector into the connector plug. NOTE: When the sensor is removed, Adaptive Cruise Control, Normal Cruise Control, and Forward Collision Warning will not be available. The cluster will display the warning “ACC/FCW Unavailable - Service Radar Sensor.” To reinstall the sensor and bracket assembly reverse the process above. The fastener torque required to assembly the bracket back to the beam is 6.6 ft lbs (9 N·m). ACC Unavailable Warning If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays “ACC/ FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error”, there may be a temporary malfunction that limits ACC functionality.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 235
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, ACC will be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try activating ACC again later, following a key cycle. If the problem persists, see your authorized dealer. Service ACC Warning If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays “ACC/ FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sensor”, it indicates there is an internal system fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.


236 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Precautions While Driving With ACC In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or unexpect- edly. The driver needs to stay alert and may need to intervene. Adding A Trailer Hitch The weight of a trailer/hitch may affect the performance of ACC. If there is a noticeable change in performance following the installation of a trailer/hitch, or if the ACC performance does not return to normal after removing the trailer/hitch see your authorized dealer. Offset Driving ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is offset from your direct line of travel. There will not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.


Turns And Bends When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the system may decrease the vehicle speed and acceleration for convenience reasons, with no target vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the curve the system will resume your original Set Speed. This is a part of normal ACC system functionality.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 237


Using ACC On Hills When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane. Depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steepness of the hills, ACC perfor- mance may be limited.


Lane Changing ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane in which you are traveling. In the illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the vehicle until it’s too late for the ACC system to take action. ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There will not be sufficient


238 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be atten- tive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.


Narrow Vehicles Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not detected until they have moved fully into the lane. There will not be suffi- cient distance to the vehicle ahead.


Stationary Objects And Vehicles ACC does not react to stationary objects and stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in situations where the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 239


Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, a normal (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode is available for cruis- ing at fixed speeds. The normal Cruise Control mode is designed to maintain a set cruising speed without requir- ing the driver to operate the accelerator. Cruise Control can only be operated if the vehicle speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h). To change between the different cruise modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY or SET state. Pressing of the MODE button in any state will result in changing to the new Mode in the OFF state.

If the Cruise Control system is turned off and reactivated, the system will return to the last driver setting (ACC or Normal Cruise Control). Forward Collision Warning — If Equipped The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.


242 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensor as well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), wheel speed sensors, i.e., to calculate a probable rear-end collision. When the system determines that a rear-end collision is probable a warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the EVIC. When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the warning message will be deactivated.


FCW Message


NOTE: • The minimum speed for FCW activation is 10 mph • When entering or driving in a curve, the FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than vehicles such as


(16 km/h).


guard rails or sign posts based on the course predic- tion. This is expected and is a part of normal FCW activation and functionality.


WARNING!


Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every type of collision. The driver has the responsi- bility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warn- ing could lead to serious injury or death.


Changing FCW Status The FCW feature can be set to far, set to near or turned off in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further in- formation. The FCW Status Off, Near or Far will be displayed in the EVIC.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 243
FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK. The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting, this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away. This gives you the most reaction time.


Example Only


244 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are much closer. This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more dynamic driving experience.


Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.

(Continued)


WARNING! (Continued)


• Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits described on the label attached to the left door or left door center pillar. • Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as pos- sible. • Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. • Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or be- come a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.


REAR WINDOW FEATURES


Rear Window Wiper/Washer The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the mul- tifunction lever on the left side of the steering column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch, located at the middle of the lever.


Rear Wiper/Washer Control


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 293
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the first detent for intermittent operation and to the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation. Rotating the center portion upward once more will activate the washer pump which will con- tinue to operate as long as the switch is held. Upon release of the switch, the wipers will resume the continu- ous rear wiper operation. When this rotary control is in the OFF position, rotating it downward will activate the rear washer pump which will continue to operate as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released it will return to the OFF position and the wipers will cycle several times before returning to the parked position. NOTE: As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the switch is released the pump will resume normal opera- tion.


294 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the “park” position. If the flipper glass is open, the rear window wiper/ washer functionality is interrupted and the wiper stops at that “park” position. When the flipper glass is closed, the rear wiper will resume wiper/washer functionality after five seconds. Rear Window Defroster


The rear window defroster button is located on the climate control panel. Press this button to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off after ap- proximately 10 minutes. For an additional five minutes of operation, press the button a second time.


NOTE: To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear window defroster only when the engine is operating.


CAUTION!


Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the heating elements: • Use care when washing the inside of the rear window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water. • Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window. • Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.


ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry the weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars. NOTE: If not equipped with crossbars, your authorized dealer can order and install MOPAR® crossbars built specifically for this roof rack system. Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars. The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments, located at the upper edge of each crossbar, approximately eight turns using the anti-theft wrench provided with the MOPAR® crossbars. Then, move the crossbar to the


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 295
desired position, keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. Once the crossbar is in the desired position, retighten the with the wrench to lock the crossbar into position. NOTE: • To help control wind noise when the crossbars are not in use, place the front and rear crossbars approxi- mately 24 in (61 cm) apart. Optimal noise reduction can then be achieved by adjusting the front crossbar forward or aft using increments of 1 in (2.5 cm). • If the rear crossbar (or any metallic object) is placed over the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you may experience interruption of satellite radio reception. For improved satellite radio reception, avoid placing the rear crossbar over the satellite radio antenna.


• The grab handles on the back of


the vehicle (if


equipped) are not to be used as a towing feature.


296 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


CAUTION!


• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, do not carry any loads on the roof rack without the crossbars installed. The load should be secured and placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the roof surface. • To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropri- ately. • Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.


(Continued)


CAUTION! (Continued)


• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.


WARNING!


Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per- sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

3. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)


The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission con- trol systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.


304 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


CAUTION!


Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.


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.


4. Electronic Stability Control Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped


(ESC) Activation/


The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction In- dicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected . NOTE: The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/ Malfunction Indicator Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.


Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously. The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation. 5. TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped


This light will illuminate when the TOW/ HAUL button has been selected. The TOW/ HAUL button is located in the center of the instrument panel (below the climate controls).


6. Turn Signal Indicator


The arrows will flash with the exterior turn sig- nals when the turn signal lever is operated. A tone will chime, and an EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 305
NOTE: If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. 7. High Beam Indicator


Indicates that headlights are on high beam.


8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped


This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.


9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If Equipped The symbol indicates the status of the Hill Decent Control (HDC) feature. The lamp will be on solid when HDC is armed. HDC can only be armed when the transfer case is in the “4WD Low” position and the vehicle speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these conditions are not met while attempt- ing to use the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will flash on/off.


306 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 10. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Display/Odometer Display The odometer display shows the total distance the ve- hicle has been driven. U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/ service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.


When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center”. 11. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light


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 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. 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 under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 307
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 subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem 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.


308 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL


CAUTION!


The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.


12. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If Equipped


This indicator will illuminate when the park lights or headlights are turned on.


13. Seat Belt Reminder Light


When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information. 14. Brake Warning Light


This 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 capac- ity 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.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 309
NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi- tions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.


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.


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 .


310 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 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 ap- proximately 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. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 15. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light


This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.


If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. 16. 4 LOW


This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked to- gether forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide increased torque at the wheels.


For further information on four-wheel drive operation and proper use, refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If Equipped” in “Starting And Operating”. 17. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 18. Fuel Door Reminder


The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located.


19. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.

312 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 23. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light — If Equipped


This light indicates the Electronic Stability Con- trol (ESC) is off.


24. Vehicle Security Light


This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle theft alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned on. 25. Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera- ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.


The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.


CAUTION!


Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call an autho- rized 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. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
