Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
The vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{WARNING:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not
replace driver vision. RVC does not:
.Detect objects that are outside the camera's
field of view, below the bumper, or underneath
the vehicle.
.Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the
RVC screen, or use the screen during longer,
higher speed backing maneuvers or where there
could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances using
the screen will differ from actual distances. (Continued)
WARNING: (Continued)
So if you do not use proper care before backing
up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage,
injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has
the RVC system, always check carefully before
backing up by checking behind and around the
vehicle.
The rear vision camera system is designed to help
the driver when backing up by displaying a view of
the area behind the vehicle. When the key is in the
ON/RUN position and the driver shifts the vehicle into
R (Reverse), the video image automatically appears on
the inside rear view mirror. Once the driver shifts out of
R (Reverse), the video image automatically disappears
from the inside rear view mirror.

Turning the Rear Vision Camera System
Off or On
To turn off the rear vision camera system, press and
hold
z, located on the inside rearview mirror, until the
left indicator light turns off. The rear vision camera
display is now disabled.
To turn the rear vision camera system on again, press
and hold
zuntil the left indicator light illuminates. The
rear vision camera system display is now enabled and
the display will appear in the mirror normally.
Rear Vision Camera Location
The camera is located in the rear of the vehicle.
The area displayed by the camera is limited and does
not display objects that are close to either corner or
under the bumper. The area displayed can vary
depending on vehicle orientation or road conditions.
The distance of the image that appears on the screen
differs from the actual distance.
The following illustration shows the field of view that the
camera provides.

B. Corner of the rear bumper.
When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system might not work properly
or display a clear image if:
.The RVC is turned off. See“Turning the Rear
Camera System On or Off” earlier in this section.
.It is dark.
.The sun or the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lens.
.Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water,
and wipe it with a soft cloth.
.The back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera can
change or the camera can be affected. Be sure to
have the camera and its position and mounting
angle checked at your dealer/retailer.
.There are extreme temperature changes.
3-46

The rear vision camera system display in the rearview
mirror may turn off or not appear as expected due to
one of the following conditions. If this occurs the left
indicator light on the mirror will flash.
.A slow flash may indicate a loss of video signal,
or no video signal present during the reverse cycle.
.A fast flash may indicate that the display has
been on for the maximum allowable time during
a reverse cycle, or the display has reached an
Over Temperature limit.
The fast flash conditions are used to protect the
video device from high temperature conditions.
Once conditions return to normal the device will
reset and the green indicator will stop flashing.
During any of these fault conditions, the display will be
blank and the indicator will continue to flash as long as
the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or until the conditions
return to normal.
Pressing and holding
zwhen the left indicator light is
flashing will turn off the video display along with the left
indicator light.

Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
Headlamps
The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has the following four
positions:
2(Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps, parking
lamps, and taillamps.
; (Parking Lamps): Turns on the parking lamps and
taillamps only. AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System):
Automatically
turns on the Daytime Running Lamps during daytime,
and the headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at
night.
P (Off/On): This position is the momentary Off/On
switch for the Automatic Headlamp System. In Canada,
this only works when the vehicles with an automatic
transmission are in P (Park) and vehicles with a manual
transmission have the parking brake set and the vehicle
is not moving.
When operating in AUTO, a momentary turn of the
switch to off/on will turn off the Automatic Headlamp
System. An AUTO LIGHTS OFF message displays on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a chime will
sound. Turning the switch to off/on again will turn the
Automatic Headlamp System back on. An AUTO
LIGHTS ON message displays on the DIC. The
Automatic Headlamp System is always turned on at the
beginning of an ignition cycle for vehicles with manual
transmission.
Wiper Activated Headlamps
The headlamps and parking lamps are activated
15 seconds after the windshield wipers are turned on.
For this feature to work, automatic lighting must be
enabled. See Headlamps
on page 4‑11for additional
information.

Electric Power Management
This vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM),
an advanced control system. It estimates the battery's
temperature and state of charge and then adjusts the
voltage for best performance and extended life of the
battery.
When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly put the charge back in. When
the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gauge or voltage display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage
move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical
loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning
fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high
speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads,
and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output
and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase
engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands
of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver.
Battery Run-Down Protection
The vehicle has a battery saver feature designed to
protect the vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is
turned off, the battery rundown protection system
automatically turns the lamp off after 20 minutes.
This prevents draining of the battery.
4-15

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).
The vehicle's odometer works together with the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Trip A and Trip B can be set
on the odometer. See“Trip Information”underDIC
Operation and Displays on page 4‑46.
The vehicle does not have to be running to check the
odometer mileage. Simply open the driver's door and
the mileage briefly displays.
If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the
new one will be set to the correct total mileage of the
old odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer
displays the engine
speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated with the
tachometer in the red warning area, the vehicle
could be damaged and the damages would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not operate the
engine with the tachometer in the red warning area.
4-25

This gauge displays the air pressure level in the intake
manifold before it enters the engine's combustion
chamber.
It is automatically centered at zero every time the
engine is started. Actual vacuum or boost is displayed
from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such
as driving in mountains and changing weather, will
slightly change the zero reading.
Reconfigurable Performance
Display (RPD)
For vehicles with the RPD, the screen displays
information that can be used to monitor vehicle
performance. The RPD knob located next to the screen
is used to configure the display and select information
to be viewed.
A short video plays whenever the ignition key is turned
on. Press the RPD knob to stop the video and go
directly to RPD displays.
RPD Screen Example US Version Shown, CanadaSimilar (French Display Currently Not Available)
The RPD screen displays two divided areas (A, B) of
information called Regions. Advance through Region A
screens to show various gauges and speedometer
displays. Advance through Region B screens to show
digital readouts and indicator information.
The position of these regions can be reversed. See the
SETUP MENU for more information.
When the ignition is turned off and then back on, the
RPD shows the last screen displayed.

intake and exhaust cam shafts relative to their park
positions as commanded by the engine control module.
OVERLAP represents the total distance the intake and
exhaust cam shafts have phased.
SPARK ADVANCE/ KNOCK RETARD: The spark
advance gauge displays ignition timing. Knock retard
indicates the amount of ignition delay to reduce spark
knock.
ENGINE POWER & TORQUE : Displayed engine
power and torque are engine flywheel output values
calculated by the engine control module. These
values are approximate and may change with the air
conditioning load, generator output, air temperature, air
pressure, and fuel octane. SPEEDOMETER & G FORCE :
