HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for the front heated
seats are located on the center
instrument panel area.
• Press the switch once to select
High-level heating. Press the
switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the
heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is
selected, the system will
automatically switch to Low-level
after approximately 60 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions
must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.
Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns
due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap
until a “clicking” sound is heard.
• Press the odometer reset button, located below the tachometer, to turn
the message off.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after
tightening the gas cap, see your authorized service center.
Oil Change IndicatorMessage
• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHANgE OIL) appears and a single
chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for
overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but
do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to
the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this
heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core
to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C). If
the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime,
turn the engine off immediately and call for service.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a
set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting can be dangerous if done
improperly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack follow the
manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine
compartment below the air intake duct. To access the battery remove
the air intake duct by turning the two finger screws, located on the
radiator support.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and
turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.
