Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle's computer
has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other, press the
A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how
many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or
Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear to
reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is first sold in the United States,
the trip odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the
trip odometer will return to zero after 1 999.9 km
(1,242 miles). The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets
the trip mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip
mode must be reset individually.

below the steering wheel. They are used to adjust the
brightness and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE
control so the image is as low as possible while
remaining visible.
Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.When the system comes on, you'll see the Night Vision
System symbol in the image. After about one minute,
you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don't
see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it
may take longer for the image to display), there may be
something wrong with the system. See your dealer
for service.
CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright, or
too high in your field of view, it may take you
more time to see things you need to see when it's
dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
Remember that the Night Vision System can only help
you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can't sense things like brake lights, turn
signals or emergency flashers, traffic lights or signs.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter. The filter removes certain
contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to
be replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº in the Index for more information on
replacement. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index
for replacement intervals.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to
replace the filter once the old one is removed.HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº in
the Index.
~TEMP! (Temperature): Press the up arrow on the
control to increase the temperature and the down arrow
