MILES RANGE: (Analog Cluster Only.) This message
shows about how many miles you can drive without
refilling your fuel tank. Once the range drops below
40 miles (64 km) remaining, the display will show LOW.
MPG INST (Instantaneous Miles per Gallon):This
message shows the instantaneous fuel economy which
varies with your driving conditions, such as
acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being
traveled. The INFO RESET button does not function in
this mode.
BATTERY VOLTS: This message shows the current
battery voltage. If the voltage is normal the display will
show BATTERY VOLTS OK. If the voltage drops
below 10.5 volts, the display will show BATTERY
VOLTS LOW. If the voltage is above 16 volts, the
display will show BATTERY VOLTS HIGH. If the

have your battery checked. See ªDriver Information
Center (DIC) Messagesº later in this section for
more information.LF-RF-LR-RR TIRE (If Equipped): On vehicles
equipped with the tire pressure monitor, this message
shows the tire pressure for each tire (left front, right
front, left rear and right rear). Pressing the INFO button
will scroll through the tire pressure for each of the
four tires, such as:

34 PSI LF TIRE OK or

234 kPa LF TIRE OK
If a tire pressure is below 25 PSI (172 kPa) or above
38 PSI (265 kPa), the message will appear as shown
above except it will show TIRE LOW or TIRE HIGH as
appropriate. If desired, the tire pressure information can
be programmed not to appear when using the INFO
button to scroll through the DIC displays. See ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
If a low or high tire pressure is detected by the system
while driving, a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message will

Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in
one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first sold
in Canada will have a number after each message. This
number helps to identify the problem. You must then press
INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display screen for
further use. However, be sure to take any message that
appears on the display screen seriously and remember that
pressing the INFO or INFO RESET button will only make
the message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German,
Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the
language display adjusted for your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message
will appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
- 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the
point that features are disabled, this message is
displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary accessories
to allow the battery to recharge.BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical
system checked by your dealership. You can reduce the
charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the
lamps and radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the
fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
- 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging less
than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge while driving but may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
(be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to
boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you
can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning
off the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on
the DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within 200 miles. See ªEngine Oilº and ªFilter
Recommendationsº in the Index. After an oil change,
the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See ªOil Life
Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID
- 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index for the proper
fluid and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
- 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in ON to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See ªBrake
System Warning Lightº in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
- 2: This message
will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as
soon as possible.CHECK FUEL GAGE

This message will appear when the fuel supply is less
than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and the display is turned off.
A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it's on properly.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
- 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on a grade. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never checked while the engine is
running. If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears,
and your vehicle has been parked on level ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level
should be checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to
checking the oil level, be sure the engine has been off
for a few minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface.
Then check the dipstick and add oil if necessary.
See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.

Vehicle Programming and
Personalization Features
Your vehicle is equipped with personalization that
allows you to program certain features to a preferred
setting for up to two people. The number of
programmable features varies depending upon which
model of the vehicle is purchased. On all vehicles,
features such as climate control settings, radio preset
settings, exterior lighting at unlock, remote lock and
unlock confirmation, and automatic door locks have
already been programmed for your convenience.
Some vehicles are equipped with additional features
that can be programmed including the seat position,
steering column position (if equipped) and outside
mirror position. The navigation screen preferences
(if equipped) will remain at the last set position.
If your vehicle is equipped with the ability to program
additional personalization features, the driver's
preferences are recalled by pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or by pressing
the appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on the
driver's door. Certain features can be programmed not
to recall until the key is placed in the ignition. To change
feature preferences you must use one of the
following procedures.Entering Feature Programming

the Index.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) (If Equipped)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the DIC
will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
If this message appears, have your vehicle serviced at
your dealership.

Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns.To see the display, press the INFO button several times until
ENGINE OIL LIFE appears. If you see 99% ENGINE OIL
LIFE, 99 percent of your current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL
message. Always keep a written record of the mileage and
date when you changed your oil. For more information,
see ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index. If you see
CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and
you should change the oil right away. The system doesn't
check how much oil you have, so you'll still have to check
