Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
eled 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 fuel tank
level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT
button.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a “LOW FUEL” message.
This display will continue until the vehicle runs
out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to
the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL” mes-
sage and a new DTE value will display.Miles Per Gallon (MPG) Or L/100km
This display shows the instantaneous MPG or
L/100km in bar graph form while driving. This
will monitor the gas mileage in real-time as you
drive and can be used to modify driving habits in
order to increase fuel economy.
Adaptive Cruise ControlPress and release the UP or DOWN button until
"ACC"
(if equipped with Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol) is highlighted in the EVIC. Status of the
ACC is displayed in the menu line also. Press
and release the SELECT (right arrow) button to
display the following information:
• If equipped with ACC, one of several mes-
sages will be displayed giving a dynamic
update of the status of the feature as the
driver changes feature status or following
conditions change. If ACC is active and a
warning or other feature is in the EVIC main
display, the ACC status will be displayed in
place of the EVIC odometer line.
Press and release the BACK button to return to
the main menu.
Vehicle SpeedPress and release the UP or DOWN button until
“Vehicle Speed” displays highlighted in the
EVIC and press the SELECT button. Press the
SELECT button to display the current speed
in mph or km/h. Pressing the SELECT button a
second time will toggle the unit of measure
between mph or km/h.
NOTE:
Changing the unit of measure in the Vehicle
Speed menu will not change the unit of
measure in the EVIC.
Trip InfoPress and release the UP or DOWN button until
“Trip Info” displays highlighted in the EVIC and

Points To Remember
NOTE:
When the vehicle is stopped after a few
miles/kilometers of operation, you may ob-
serve vapor coming from the front of the
engine compartment. This is normally a re-
sult of moisture from rain, snow, or high
humidity accumulating on the radiator and
being vaporized when the thermostat opens,
allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze) to
enter the radiator.
If an examination of your engine compartment
shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks,
the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will
soon dissipate.
•Do not overfill the coolant expansion bottle.
• Check the coolant freeze point in the radiator
and in the coolant expansion bottle. If engine
coolant (antifreeze) needs to be added, the
contents of the coolant expansion bottle must
also be protected against freezing.
• If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) addi-
tions are required, the cooling system should
be pressure tested for leaks. •
Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concen-
tration at a minimum of 50% OAT coolant
(conforming to MS-12106) and distilled water
for proper corrosion protection of your engine
which contains aluminum components.
• Make sure that the coolant expansion bottle
overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
• Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your
vehicle is equipped with air conditioning,
keep the front of the condenser clean.
•
Do not change the thermostat for Summer or
Winter operation. If replacement is ever neces-
sary, install ONLY the correct type thermostat.
Other designs may result in unsatisfactory
engine coolant (antifreeze) performance, poor
gas mileage, and increased emissions.
Brake SystemIn order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can
result in abnormally high brake tempera-
tures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage. You would not have your full
braking capacity in an emergency.
Fluid Level Check – Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should be
checked when performing under the hood ser-
vice, or immediately if the brake system warning
lamp indicates system failure.
The brake master cylinder has a plastic reser-
voir. On the outboard side of the reservoir, there
is a “MAX” dot and a “MIN” dot. The fluid level
must be kept within these two dots. Do not add
fluid above the MAX mark, because leakage
may occur at the cap.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance Schedule – Gasoline
Engine
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in
this manual must be done at the times or
mileages specified to protect your vehicle war-
ranty and ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability. More frequent maintenance may
be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and very short
trip driving. Inspection and service should also
be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for sched-
uled maintenance.On Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) equipped vehicles “Oil Change Re-
quired” will be displayed in the EVIC and a
single chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illuminate
approximately 7,000 miles (11,200 km) after the
most recent oil change was performed. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within 500 miles (800 km).
NOTE:
•
The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicles oil if it has been 12
months since your last oil change even if
the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated. •
Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an ex-
tended period of time.
•Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles (12 000 km) or
12 months, whichever comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the sched-
uled oil change. If this scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than your autho-
rized dealer the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under ”Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
