inverter is located on the front of
the center console.
• This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power up
to 150 Watts.
NOTE:The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If
the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will
automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from
the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating
exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset
manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in
again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do
not insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet
hands. Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it
may cause an electric shock and failure.

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.
