Parallel Park Assist (If Equipped)
The parallel park assist mirror, which tips the passenger
mirror down while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R), can
be made active or inactive through the DIC. When TILT
MIRRORS
-OFF/ON appears on the display, use the
ENG/MET button to toggle the arrow between OFF
and ON. When you have made your choice, press the
RESET button to record your selection. For more
information on this feature, see ªParallel Park Assist
Mirrorº in the Index.
Driver ID
This feature displays the DRIVER ID, as identified by
the DIC. If this feature is ON, the DRIVER ID will
be displayed every time the ignition is turned on. If the
DRIVER ID is OFF, the DRIVER ID can be displayed
by pressing either a button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a memory seat button.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
(If Equipped)
CAUTION:
If the HUD 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 HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), you can see some of the driver information
that appears on your instrument cluster.
2-92
The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as a reflection in the windshield.
The HUD consists of the following information:
Speedometer Reading
Turn Signal Indicators
High
-Beam Headlamp Indicator
Check Gages Message
The HUD shows these images when they are lighted on
the instrument panel cluster.
Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls
and driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD. If you never look at your instrument
panel, you may not see something important, such as
a warning light.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near the
front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid.
The HUD was not designed for that purpose.
If you try to use the display as a marker for the
front of your vehicle, such as in a parking lot,
you may misjudge distance and hit an obstacle
or another vehicle.

Engine Overheating
You will find a warning light about a hot engine as well as
an engine coolant temperature gage on your vehicle's
instrument panel cluster. If your vehicle is equipped with
the optional Driver Information Center (DIC), an ENGINE
COOLANT LOW warning will appear on the display.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
CAUTION:
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you
badly, even if you just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear steam coming
from it. Just turn it off and get everyone away
from the vehicle until it cools down. Wait until
there is no sign of steam or coolant before you
open the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine is
overheated, the liquids in it can catch fire. You or
others could be badly burned. Stop your engine if
it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine is cool.
NOTICE:
If your engine catches fire because you keep
driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be
badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
