Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition off. SeeLights On Reminder on
page 256for additional information.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on,
the automatic lights are enabled, and
the transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your front turn signal
lamps will be on. No other exterior lamps will be
on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument
panel will not be lit.When the automatic lights are enabled and it is dark
enough outside, the DRL will turn off and the
low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go
off, and the DRL will turn back on. If you start your
vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp
system will come on immediately. Once you leave
the garage, it will take about one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it
is light outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure your instrument panel brightness lever is in the
full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 220.
To operate your vehicle with the DRL off, turn the
exterior lamp control off and then do one of the
following:
Turn the exterior lamp control to the parking
lamp position.
Turn the exterior lamp control to the headlamp
position.
Turn the exterior lamp control from AUTO to
off and back to AUTO.

Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high
in your eld of view, it may take you more
time to see things you need to see when it
is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD
image dim and placed low in your eld
of view.
If equipped, the Head-Up Display (HUD) allows
you to see some of the driver information that
appears on your instrument panel cluster on the
windshield.
The information may be displayed in English or
metric units and appears as an image focused out
toward the front of your vehicle. To change
from English to metric units, seeDIC Controls and
Displays on page 258.
The HUD consists of the following information:
Speedometer
Turn Signal Indicators
High-Beam Indicator Symbol
Driver Shift Control Transmission Feature,
seeAutomatic Transmission Operation on
page 116
Check Gages Icon
Adaptive Cruise Control Features and
Indicators (If Equipped), seeAdaptive Cruise

AUTO (Automatic):When this button is pressed
and the temperature is set, the system will
automatically control the inside temperature, the
air delivery mode, the air conditioning compressor,
and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the
display next to the fan, mode indicators,
and recirculation indicator if your vehicle has a air
quality sensor.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting, generally, between 70°F (21°C)
and 80°F (27°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or
cool any faster. If the system is set at
the warmest temperature setting, the system
will try to continuously heat the vehicle
and will not adjust the system down as the
vehicle warms up.In cold weather, the system can start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air
into the vehicle until warmer air is available.
The system starts out blowing air at the oor,
but can automatically change modes as
the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen
temperature setting. The length of time
needed for warm up depends on the outside
temperature and the length of time that
has elapsed since the vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take
from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
You can switch from English to metric units
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Controls and Displays on page 258.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so some water might drip underneath
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC
is also used to display warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below
the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons
are located on the instrument panel, to the left of
the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display the current
driver and the information that was last displayed
before the engine was turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status
messages. The bottom line of the DIC display
shows either the odometer, the trip odometer A or
the trip odometer B information on the left side.
Only one odometer can appear at a time. See “Trip
Information” underDIC Controls and Displays
on page 258for information on changing the
display to show the odometer or trip odometer
information. The bottom line of the DIC display
also shows the outside temperature on the
right side and the shift lever position indicator inthe center. SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 116for more information on the shift
lever positions.
When the sport mode is active, an S will appear
next to the shift position indicator on the center of
the DIC display. When the manual mode is
active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When
the normal mode is active, only the shift position
indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift
Control (DSC) feature is active, the DIC will
change to show the selected gear. See “Driver
Shift Control (DSC)” underAutomatic Transmission
Operation on page 116for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously and
remember that clearing the message will only make
the message disappear, not correct the problem.
DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different
modes which can be accessed by pressing
the four DIC buttons located on the instrument
panel, to the left of the steering wheel.

Information Display Menu Items
The following display menu items can be displayed
by pressing the information button.
MPH (km/h)
If your vehicle has this display, it shows the
vehicle’s speed digitally in either miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
MILES RANGE (km RANGE)
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you
can drive without relling the fuel tank. This
estimate is based on the current driving conditions
and will change if the driving conditions change.
For example, if you are driving in traffic making
frequent stops, the display may read one number,
but if you enter the freeway, the number may
change even though you still have the same
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because
different driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
produces better fuel economy than city driving.
Once the range drops below about 40 miles
(64 km) remaining, the display will show
LOW RANGE.If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low
message will be displayed. See “Fuel Level
Low” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 264for more information.
MPG AVG (L/100 km AVG)
This display shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km). This number is calculated based
on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since
the last time this display was reset. To reset
MPG AVG, press the reset button. The display
will return to zero.
MPG INST (L/100 km INST)
This display shows the current fuel economy. This
number reects only the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel
economy, this display cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED (L FUEL USED)
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this
display. To reset GAL FUEL USED, press
the reset button. The display will return to zero.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There can be an increase in skipping,difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in
loading and ejecting. If these problems occur,
check the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface
of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly.
If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of
Your CDs on page 313for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more
than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While using the CD player, use only
CDs in good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
