90 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The wiper-activated headlamps
immediately turn off when the
ignition is turned to off, or the
windshield wiper control is turned off.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its
heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time /
Date" underSettings0182.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory power
outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center floor
console.
Lift the cover to access the accessory
power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not
be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload a
vehicle circuit breaker or adapter fuse.
If overloaded, the circuit breaker will
reset after all devices are disconnected
or if Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is turned off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 0229.
Wait one minute to allow the circuit breaker to reset before reconnecting
devices or turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue could be
within your device. Try another
known good device to make sure the
circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your problem,
see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the factory
power outlet with a cigar lighter
receptacle, if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit breaker to be
replaced with a standard minifuse by
the dealer. A minifuse will not reset
and will have to be replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse could
overheat the cigar lighter and
damage the vehicle.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0307.

2.0L L4 Engine
Automatic Coolant Service Fill
Instructions
The vehicle is equipped with a service
feature that assists with filling and
removing air from the cooling system
after service of components or when
coolant is added after being too low.
To use the service feature:
1. With a cold system, add coolant tothe indicated line on the
surge tank.
2. Replace the pressure cap on the surge tank. To activate the service feature:
1. Connect the vehicle to a battery charger.
2. Turn the ignition on. See Ignition
Positions 0224.
3. Turn off the air conditioning.
4. Set the parking brake.
5. At the same time, press the accelerator and the brake pedal for
two seconds, then release.
6. At the end of the cycle, check the coolant level in the surge tank and
add coolant if it is below the
indicated line. Turn the ignition
off, allow the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) to go to sleep, about
two minutes, and repeat Steps 2–6.
Listen for pump activation and
movement of the control valves while
watching the level of the coolant in
the surge tank. If the tank empties,
turn the ignition off, carefully remove
the pressure cap, refill to the indicated
line, replace the pressure cap, and
repeat Steps 2–6.
The fill and air removal process will
run for approximately 15 minutes.
Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and engine
damage may occur. Be sure the cap
is properly and tightly secured.
3.0L V6 Engine
1. Remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant surge
tank pressure cap and upper
radiator hose, is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise. If you hear a
hiss, wait for that to stop. This will
allow any pressure still left to be
vented out the discharge hose.
2. Keep turning the pressure cap slowly and remove it.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire
When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for five minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire faster.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. SeeHazard Warning
Flashers 0135.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0361 for other
important safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that have
penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) and compressor from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit 0368.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the power plug (9) from the bottom
of the compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the ground near the flat tire.
4. Attach the air only hose (10) to thesealant canister inlet valve (1) by
turning it clockwise until tight.
5. Slide the base of the tire sealantcanister (3) into the slot on the top
of the compressor (6) to hold it
upright.
Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so
the hose will reach it.
6. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
7. Attach the sealant/air hose (2) tothe tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until tight.

8. Plug the power plug (9) into theaccessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets. See
Power Outlets 090.
Do not pinch the power plug cord
in the door or window.
9. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the air
compressor.
10. Press the on/off button (5) to turn the tire sealant and compressor
kit on.
The compressor will inject sealant
and air into the tire.
The pressure gauge (8) will initially
show a high pressure while the
compressor pushes the sealant into
the tire. Once the sealant is
completely dispersed into the tire,
the pressure will quickly drop and
start to rise again as the tire
inflates with air only.
11. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Tire
Pressure 0349.
The pressure gauge (8) may read
higher than the actual tire pressure
while the compressor is on. Turn
the compressor off to get an
accurate pressure reading. The
compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended pressure
cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely damaged
and the tire sealant and compressor
kit cannot inflate the tire. Remove
the power plug from the accessory
power outlet and unscrew the
inflating hose from the tire valve.
12. Press the on/off button (5) to turn the tire sealant and compressor
kit off. The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the sealant is
distributed in the tire. Therefore,
Steps 13–21 must be done
immediately after Step 12.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
13. Unplug the power plug (9) from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
16. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) from the slot on top of the
compressor (6).
17. Turn the air only hose (10) counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire sealant canister inlet
valve (1).
18. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) clockwise onto the sealant canister
inlet valve (1) to prevent sealant
leakage.
