Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You’ll know how
fast you’re going, how much fuel you’re using, and many other things you’ll need to drive safely and economically. The
indicator warning lights and gages are explained on the following pages.

3-38

{CAUTION:
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger’s seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off
the passenger’s frontal airbag. A child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger’s
airbag inates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s
seat unless the airbag has been turned off.If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag. SeePassenger Sensing System on page 1-77
for more on this, including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag readiness light
ever come on together, it means that something
may be wrong with the airbag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly, because an adult-size person sitting
in the right front passenger seat may not have
the protection of the frontal airbag. SeeAirbag
Readiness Light on page 3-41.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
The DIC is used to program the choices of two drivers.
The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 in
the DIC display. You will let the DIC know which driver
you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter.
Each remote keyless entry transmitter was
pre-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2.
Each transmitter may be programmed differently for each
driver’s preferences (lights, doors, horn or activate the
programmed radio stations for driver 1 or driver 2) using
your remote keyless entry transmitter.
After you press the LOCK button on your transmitter
and the ignition key is in ON, the DIC will display
the identied driver number. The vehicle will also recall
the vehicle customization features that were last
programmed to correspond to your transmitter.
If you unlock your vehicle using your key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers
and your vehicle will recall the information from the last
transmitter used.
If your vehicle does not have a DIC, you do not have
available the vehicle customization features using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Entering Programming Mode
To program features, your vehicle must be in the
programming mode. Do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON with the vehicle in
PARK (P).
2. Press and release the MODE button, scrolling
through the DIC messages, until
PERSONALIZATION PRESS SET TO BEGIN is
displayed.
3. Press the SET button and TO SELECT DRIVER
PRESS REMOTE LOCK will appear. Press the
LOCK button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. This identies which remote keyless
entry transmitter is being programmed by displaying
PERSONALIZATION FOR DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2.

You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to re-adjust to the dark. When
you are faced with severe glare, as from a driver
who does not lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps, slow down a little. Avoid
staring directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean — inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up a lm caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and ash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep
your eyes moving; that way, it is easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from
night blindness — the inability to see in dim light — and
are not even aware of it.Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet
road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or turn as well
because your tire-to-road traction is not as good as on
dry roads. And, if your tires do not have much tread
left, you will get even less traction. It is always wise to
go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall while
you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when
your reexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement.
