Warning Light
SERVICE
ASR
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it-will be
ready to
warn you if there’s
a problem.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this light comes
on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will
stay on for a few seconds after the system stops
adjusting brake pressure.
The anti-lock brake system active light
also comes on
briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
there to tell you when the system is active. If it
stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there’s a
problem with your
ASR system and your vehicle needs
service. When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
(The
ASR OFF light will also come on when the ASR
system warning light comes on.)

Temperature Sensors
Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the instrument panel.
When the inside temperature is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside temperature up to 5
OF
(3 O C) below the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is on the right side
of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
0 Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for one
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above 25 mph
(40 kmh) or the temperature
goes down, the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been off for more than three hours,
the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.

System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute,
then stop.
The flashing light could also mean the refrigerant level
is too low in your system. The light will continue to
flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.
To reset your system:
1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
3. Put the fuses back in and start your vehicle.
The light shouldn’t come on and your system should be
working properly. If you still have
a problem, see
your dealer.

0
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive
in spurts
-- heavy acceleration followed by heavy
braking
-- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This
is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool
between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much
faster if you do a lot
of heavy braking. If you keep pace
with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,,
you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That
means better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t pump your brakes. If you
do, the
pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes
Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS). ABS is an
advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
When you start your engine and begin to drive away,
your anti-lock brake system will check itself.
You may
hear a momentary motor or clicking noise while this test
is going on, and you may even notice that your brake
pedal moves a little. This is normal.
SERVICE
If there’s a problem with the
anti-lock brake system, this
warning light will stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” in
the Index.
