When the ignition is on, the
fuel gauge indicates the
approximate amount of fuel
left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the
fuel gauge pointing to the side
of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.
When the indicator nears
empty, the low fuel light
comes on. There still is a little
fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less
fuel to fill up than it
indicates. For example, the
gauge may have indicated
the tank is half full, but it actually takes a little more,
or less than half the tank's
capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a
corner, speeding up,
or braking.
.Take a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is
turned on and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions,
none of which indicate a
problem with the fuel gauge.
Fuel Range
The uplevel instrument cluster
has a estimated fuel range
located at the bottom center
of the display. The fuel range
is displayed with the
approximate distance the
vehicle can be driven without
refueling. The fuel range
estimate is based on an
average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. When the estimated fuel
range is low, the range shows
LOW and a message may also
display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).

This gauge measures the
temperature of the vehicle's
engine.
While driving under normal
operating conditions, if the red
LED is illuminated, the engine
is too hot. Pull off the road,
stop the vehicle, and turn off
the engine as soon as
possible.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
(Uplevel)
Sport Mode Shown, Track Mode Similar
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves
into the red zone, the engine is
too hot.
This reading indicates the
same thing as the warning
light. It means that the engine
coolant has overheated. If the
vehicle has been operating
under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road,
stop the vehicle, and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating

information.
Seat Belt Reminders
Driver Seat Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver seat belt
reminder light on the
instrument cluster.
When the vehicle is started,
this light flashes and a chime
may come on to remind the
driver to fasten their seat belt.
Then the light stays on solid
until the belt is buckled. This
cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

If the light stays on, or comes
on while driving, there may be
a problem with the electrical
charging system. Have it
checked by your dealer.
Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is
flashing, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) also displays a
message.
If a short distance must be
driven with the light on, be
sure to turn off all
accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner. Find a safe
place to stop the vehicle.
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine
Light)
This light is part of the
vehicle’s emission control
on-board diagnostic system.
If this light is on while the
engine is running, a
malfunction has been
detected and the vehicle mayrequire service. The light
should come on to show that it
is working when the ignition is
in Service Mode. See Ignition
Positions
0267.
Malfunctions are often
indicated by the system
before any problem is
noticeable. Being aware of the
light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on
may prevent damage.
Caution
If the vehicle is driven
continually with this light on,
the emission control system
may not work as well, the
fuel economy may be lower,
and the vehicle may not run
smoothly. This could lead to

costly repairs that might not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
Modifications to the engine,
transmission, exhaust,
intake, or fuel system, or the
use of replacement tires
that do not meet the original
tire specifications, can cause
this light to come on. This
could lead to costly repairs
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. This could also
affect the vehicle’s ability to
pass an Emissions

Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices
from the accessory power
outlets if there is interference
or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16
to 65 km (10 to 40 mi).
Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that
automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can
occur, especially around tall
buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM
stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The
longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms
and power lines interfere with
radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the
treble on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service provides digital
radio reception. Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with
satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or
standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels
may cause loss of the
SiriusXM signal for a period of
time. Some cellular services
may interfere with SXM
reception causing loss of
signal.

along with the system’s voice
recognition database. This
allows you to speak more
naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes
available once the system has
been initialized. This begins
when the ignition is turned on.
Initialization may take a few
moments.1. Press
gon the steering
wheel controls to activate
voice recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a
prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in
this section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted
while it is playing by
pressing
gagain. Once voice recognition is
started, both the infotainment
display and instrument cluster
show the selections and visual
dialog content. These displays
can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under Settings
0
215.
There are three voice prompt
modes supported:
.Informative verbal prompts:
This type of prompt will
provide more information
regarding the supported
actions.
.Short prompts: This type of
prompt will provide simple
instructions about what can
be stated.
.Auto informative prompts:
This type of prompt plays
during the first few speech
sessions, then automatically
switches to the short
prompt after some
experience has been gained
through using the system. If a command is not spoken,
the voice recognition system
says a help prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment
Displays
While a voice recognition
session is active, there may be
corresponding options
showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by
manually touching the option,
or by speaking the number for
the option to select. Manual
interaction in the voice
recognition session is
permitted. Interaction during a
voice session may be
completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a
task. If a selection is made
using a manual control, the
voice recognition dialog will
progress in the same way as if
the selection were made using
a voice command. Once the
system completes the task,
