Note:
Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning
products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a
second pivot point. This lets you move the
mirror head up or down and from side to
side.
Pull the tab below the mirror toward you
to reduce glare at night.
SUN VISORS Rotate the sun visor toward the side
window and extend it rearward for extra
shade.
Illuminated Vanity Mirror (If Equipped)
Lift the cover to switch the lamp on. MOONROOF
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Do not let children play with the
moonroof or leave them unattended
in the vehicle. They may seriously
hurt themselves. When closing the moonroof, you
should verify that it is free of
obstructions and make sure that
children and pets are not in the proximity
of the roof opening. The moonroof control is on the overhead
console.
The moonroof has a one-touch open and
close feature. To stop its movement during
a one-touch operation, press the control
a second time.
Opening and Closing the Moonroof
Press and release the rear of the control
to open the moonroof. The moonroof stops
short of the fully opened position.
Note:
This position helps to reduce wind
noise or rumbling that may happen with the
moonroof fully open. Press and hold the
control again to fully open the moonroof.
Press and release the front of the control
to close the moonroof.

Bounce-Back
The moonroof stops automatically while
closing. It reverses some distance if there
is an obstacle in the way.
Press and hold the front of the control
within two seconds of a bounce-back
event to override this function. While
bounce-back is active, the closing force
increases for each of the next three times
that you close the moonroof.
Venting the Moonroof
Press and release the front of the control
to vent the moonroof. Press and release
the rear of the control to close the
moonroof.
Note:
When you vent the moonroof, it rises
to 1.57 in (4 cm) and then lowers slightly.
This is normal. You cannot stop the
moonroof in the higher position.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
At normal operating temperature, the
needle remains in the center section.
Note:
Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been determined
and resolved.
If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 214).
Fuel Gauge
Note: : The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located. The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal.
Note:
It may take a short time for the
needle to reach F after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends upon
the slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note: If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different gas
pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Level Reminder
Vehicles with no distance-to-empty
display
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.
Vehicles equipped with distance-to-
empty display
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th or about 35 miles
(56 km) to empty, whichever occurs first.
Variations:
Note: : The low fuel warning and distance-to-empty warning can appear at different fuel
gauge positions depending on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal. Distance-to-empty

service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See
