Setting The Following Distance In
ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can
be set by varying the distance setting between
3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this
distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle
ahead. This distance setting displays in the
EVIC.To change the distance setting, press the Dis-
tance button and release. Each time the button
is pressed, the distance setting adjusts be-
tween long, medium, and short.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will
maintain the set speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is detected in the same lane, the EVIC
displays the “Sensed Vehicle Indicator” icon,
and the system adjusts vehicle speed auto-
matically to maintain the distance setting, re-
gardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance
until:
•
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or
view of the sensor.
• The vehicle ahead slows to a speed below
15 mph (24 km/h) and the system automati-
cally disengages itself.
• The distance setting is changed.
• The system disengages. (Refer to the infor-
mation on ACC Activation).

The set speed will continue to display in
place of the odometer reading when
changing the EVIC display while ACC is
set.
The ACC screen will display once again if any
ACC activity occurs, which may include any of
the following: •Set Speed Change
• Distance Setting Change
• System Cancel
• Driver Override
• System Off •
ACC Proximity Warning
• ACC Unavailable Warning
The EVIC will return to the last display
selected after five seconds of no ACC
display activity.
Display Warnings And Maintenance
“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
Warning
The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” warning will display when conditions
temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system
may also become temporarily blinded due to
obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the EVIC will display “Clean Radar Sen-
sor In Front Of Vehicle” and the system will
deactivate.
The “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
message can sometimes be displayed while
driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels
with reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC
system will recover after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions, when the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in
its path this warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE:
If the ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” warning is active Normal (Fixed
Speed) Cruise Control is still available. For
additional information refer to “Normal (Fixed
Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this section.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
should examine the sensor. It may require
cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The
sensor is located in the center of the vehicle
behind the lower grille.

WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision.
The driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking
and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature can be set to far, set to near or
turned off in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information. The
FCW Status Off, Near or Far will be displayed in
the EVIC.
FCW settings can only be changed when the
vehicle is in PARK. The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting,
this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you the most
reaction time.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the “Far” setting, which al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.

•Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. As temperatures rise
and the gauge approaches H,this
indicator will illuminate and a single
chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature
gauge to pass H,a continuous chime will occur
until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for more information.
• Transmission Temperature Light
This light indicates that there is
excessive transmission fluid tem-
perature that might occur with se-
vere usage such as trailer towing.
It may also occur when operating
the vehicle in a high torque con-
verter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive
operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road opera- tion). If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and
run the engine at idle or faster, with the trans-
mission in NEUTRAL until the light goes off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Indicator illuminated will eventu-
ally cause severe transmission damage or
transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust compo-
nents and cause a fire.
Engine Oil Change Indicator System
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will flash in the EVIC display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indica-
tor system is duty cycle based, which means
the engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you turn the ignition switch to
the ON/RUN position or cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position if equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go. To turn off the message temporar-
ily, press and release the MENU button. To
reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance) refer
to the following procedure.

age fuel economy in the EVIC display. This
message will appear whenever the Multi-
Displacement System (MDS) (if equipped) al-
lows the engine to operate on four cylinders, or
if you are driving in a fuel efficient manner. This feature allows you to monitor when you are
driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be
used to modify driving habits in order to in-
crease fuel economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be
traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a
weighted average of the instantaneous and
average fuel economy, according to the current
