Overheating
If your engine is overheating, one of two messages will appear on the multi-
information display. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Move the shift
lever to (P) and set the parking brake. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard
warning lights.
High Temperature. Power Reduced.
Keep the power mode on and wait until the message disappears. Have your \
vehicle checked by a dealer if the message remains on.
Engine Temperature Too Hot.
•
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the power system and wait until the steam
or spray stops. Then, open the hood.
•
No steam or spray present: Keep the power system on and open the hood.
Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the power system once t\
he
engine Temperature T

oo Hot message disappears. If the cooling fan is not
operating, immediately turn off the vehicle.
once the engine has cooled, inspect the coolant
level and check the cooling system components for
leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low,
add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is
no coolant in the reserve tank, make sure the radiator
is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a heavy
cloth and open the cap. If necessary

, add coolant up
to the base of the filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently, turn the power system on. If the
overheating message disappears, resume driving. If it remains on, contac\
t

a
dealer for repairs.

MIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
Emergency Power System Stop
The PoWer button may be used to stop the power system due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the power system, choose \
one of the
following operations:
•
Press and hold the PoWer button for two seconds,
or
•
Firmly press the PoWer button two times.
The power mode will change to ACC
eSSorY, or to oFF
if the transmission is in Park (P).
The power assist to the steering and braking will be disabled. Therefore\
, it will
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow \
the

vehicle.
Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the
vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle. Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the
power system to be switched off.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that\
you may
have about the vehicle.
Q:
How do I set the vehicle clock?
A:
For vehicles without navigation, see page 50. For vehicles with navigati\
on, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q:
Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the POWER button?*
A:
The brake pedal (and/or clutch pedal*) must be pressed to start the po\
wer
system.
Q:
What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?*
A:
When in the AUTo position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off, depending on the ambient lighting.
Q:
Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though
the keyless access remote is within range?
A:
If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q:
After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is aski\
ng for
a code. Where do I find this?
A:
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the
audio system, and press and hold the PoWer button until the system
reactivates.
Q:
Why can’t I operate Pandora through the audio system?
A:
Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter\


cable (if using). Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connec\
tion.
Q:
Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features?
A:
visit handsfreelink.com (U.S.) or

www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
check phone compatibility for Bluetooth Audio,

Bluetooth HandsFreeLink,
and SMS text messaging.
Q:
Every time I press the Talk button, the system gives me voice prompts. Can I turn
these off?*
