Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel, next to the
steering wheel. The headlight switch controls the operation of the headlights, parking
lights, instrument panel lights, cargo lights and fog lights (if equipped).
To turn on the headlights, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise. When the
headlight switch is on, the parking lights,
taillights, license plate light and instru-
ment panel lights are also turned on. To
turn off the headlights, rotate the head-
light switch back to the O (Off) position.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass
lights. Plastic is not as scratch resis-
tant as glass and therefore different
lens cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratch- ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other abrasive
materials to clean the lenses.

STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function was developed to reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically
re-start the engine.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every normal customer
engine start. At that time, the system will go into STOP/START
READY and if all other conditions are met, can go into a STOP/
START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop” mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following Must Occur:
• The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A STOP/START READY message will be displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID) within the
Stop/Start section. Refer to “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for further information.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
• The shifter must be in a forward gear and the brake pedal depressed.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will move to the zero position and the
Stop/Start telltale will illuminate indicating you are in Autostop. Customer settings
will be maintained upon return to an engine running condition.
Refer to the “Stop/Start System” in the “Starting And Operating” section located in
your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not Autostop
Prior to engine shut down, the system will check many safety and comfort conditions
to see if they are fulfilled. Detailed information about the operation of the Stop/Start
system may be viewed in the DID Stop/Start Screen. In the following situations, the
engine will not stop:
• Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.
• Driver’s door is not closed.
• Battery temperature is too warm or cold.
• Battery charge is low.
• The vehicle is on a steep grade.
• Cabin heating or cooling is in process and an acceptable cabin temperature has not been achieved.
• HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high blower speed.
