and increase vehicle
emissions. Diagnosis and
service may be required.
To help prevent damage,
reduce vehicle speed and
avoid hard accelerations and
uphill grades. If towing a
trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as
possible.
If the light continues to flash,
find a safe place to park. Turn
the vehicle off and wait at
least 10 seconds before
restarting the engine. If the
light is still flashing, follow the
previous guidelines and see
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
If the light is on steady :A
malfunction has been
detected. Diagnosis and
service may be required.
Check the following:
.If fuel has been added to the
vehicle using the capless fuel
funnel adapter, make sure
that it has been removed. See
“Filling the Tank with a
Portable Gas Can” under
Filling the Tank 0356. The
diagnostic system can
detect if the adapter has
been left installed in the
vehicle, allowing fuel to
evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the adapter
removed may turn off the
light.
.Poor fuel quality can cause
inefficient engine operation
and poor driveability, which
may go away once the
engine is warmed up. If this
occurs, change the fuel
brand. It may require at least
one full tank of the proper
fuel to turn the light off. See
Recommended Fuel (LSY
2.0L L4 Turbo Engine) 0354
or
Recommended Fuel (L3B
2.7L L4 Turbo and LF4 3.6L
V6 Twin Turbo Engines)
0 355.
If the light remains on, see
your dealer.
Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
If the vehicle requires an
Emissions Inspection/
Maintenance test, the test
equipment will likely connect
to the vehicle's Data Link
Connector (DLC).
The DLC is under the
instrument panel to the left of
the steering wheel.
Connecting devices that are
not used to perform an
Emissions Inspection/
Maintenance test or to service
the vehicle may affect vehicle
operation. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0366.
See your dealer if assistance
is needed.

{Warning
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 is dark
outside. Be sure to keep the
HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If equipped with HUD, some
information concerning the
operation of the vehicle is
projected onto the windshield.
The information is projected
through the HUD lens on the
driver side of the instrument
panel and focused out toward
the front of the vehicle.
Caution
If you try to use the HUD
image as a parking aid, you
may misjudge the distance
and damage your vehicle. Do
not use the HUD image as a
parking aid.
The HUD information can be
displayed in various languages.
The speedometer reading and
other numerical values can be
displayed in either English or
metric units.
The language selection is
changed through the radio
and the units of measurement
are changed through the
instrument cluster. See

IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns
the vehicle's high-beam
headlamps on and off
according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the
high-beam headlamps on when
it is dark enough and there is
no other traffic present.
This light

Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the
high beams when driving over
40 km/h (25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light
appears on the instrument
cluster when the high beams
are on. There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the
windshield clear of debris to
allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps
remain on, under the
automatic control, until one of
the following situations
occurs:
.The system detects an
approaching vehicle's
headlamps.
.The system detects a
preceding vehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is bright
enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is
disabled by the button on
the turn signal lever. If this
happens, press

headlamps come on
automatically.
The light sensor is on top of
the instrument panel or on the
windshield near the rearview
mirror. Do not cover the
sensor, otherwise the
headlamps will come on when
they are not needed.
The system may also turn on
the headlamps when driving
through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a
dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light
outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a slight delay before the
automatic headlamp system
turns off the headlamps.
During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full
bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control
0150.
When it is bright enough
outside, the headlamps will
turn off.
The automatic headlamp
system turns off when the
exterior lamp control is turned
to
Oor the ignition is off. For
vehicles sold in Canada, this
control only works when the
transmission is in P (Park).

Sensors
The solar sensor, located in
the defrost grille in the middle
of the instrument panel,
monitors the solar heat. Do
not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work
properly.
There is also an exterior
temperature sensor behind
the front grille. This sensor
reads the outside air
temperature and helpsmaintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover
on the front of the vehicle,
could cause a false reading in
the displayed temperature.
The climate control system
uses the information from
these sensors to maintain
comfort settings by adjusting
the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode.
The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the
vehicle facing the sun. The
recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain
cool outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain
conditions, the fan may stay
on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn
off and lock the vehicle. This is
normal.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the
center and on the sides of the
instrument panel, and on the
rear of the center console

everyone in the vehicle safe:
.Turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
.Tie a red cloth to an outside
mirror.
{Warning
Snow can trap engine
exhaust under the vehicle.
This may cause exhaust
gases to get inside. Engine
exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO), which cannot
be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and
even death.
If the vehicle is stuck
in snow:
.Clear snow from the base
of the vehicle, especially
any blocking the
exhaust pipe.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Open a window about
5 cm (2 in) on the vehicle
side that is away from the
wind, to bring in fresh air.
.Fully open the air outlets
on or under the
instrument panel.
.Adjust the climate control
system to circulate the air
inside the vehicle and set
the fan speed to the
highest setting. See
“Climate Control Systems.”
For more information about
CO, see Engine Exhaust
0 271.
To save fuel, run the engine
for short periods to warm the
vehicle and then shut the
engine off and partially close
the window. Moving about to
keep warm also helps.
If it takes time for help to
arrive, when running the
engine, push the accelerator
pedal slightly so the engine
