This feature allows the driver to store up to two different
memory profiles, for easy recall through a memory
switch. Each memory profile contains desired position
settings for the driver seat and side mirrors, and a set of
desired radio station presets.
The memory switch is located on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering column. The switch contains an (S)
button to activate the memory save function. It also
contains a rocker switch labeled with the number (1) and
the number (2). The rocker switch allows the driver to
recall either of two pre-programmed memory profiles by
pressing the appropriate side of the switch.
Programming The Memory Feature
To create a new memory profile, perform the following:
NOTE:Saving a new memory profile will erase an
existing profile from memory.1. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired prefer-
ences (i.e. seat, side mirror, and radio station presets).
2. Press and release the Set (S) button on the memory
switch, then press the side of the rocker switch labeled (1)
within 5 seconds. The Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), if equipped, will display which memory
position is being set.
If desired, a second memory profile can be stored into
memory as follows:
1. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired prefer-
ences (i.e. seat, side mirror, and radio station presets).
2. Press and release the Set (S) button on the memory
switch, then press the side of the rocker switch labeled (2)

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the full-time four-wheel drive auto mode. In
this mode, the system operates with a normal
torque split of 42% front axle and 58% rear axle.
It can redirect up to 100% of torque to the front or rear
axle, if necessary.(See page 292 for more information.)27. Odometer/Trip Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The trip odometer shows individual trip
mileage. Refer to ªTrip Odometer Buttonº for additional
information.
NOTE:U.S. federal regulations require upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify the mileage the
vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer
reading is changed because of repair or replacement, be
sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the
service so that the correct mileage can be determined.
Vehicle Warning Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, messages such as
ªdoorº (for door ajar), ªgATEº (for liftgate ajar), ªgLASSº
(for flip-up glass ajar), ªgASCAPº (for fuel cap fault), or
ªCHANgE OILº will display in the odometer.
200 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

NOTE:If the instrument cluster is equipped with the
optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
then most warnings will display in the EVIC. (See page
206 for more information.)
Fuel Cap Fault Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, the
words ªgASCAPº will display in the odometer. If this
occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the
odometer reset button to turn off the message. If the
problem continues, the message will appear the next time
the vehicle is started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap
may also turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
(See page 399 for more information.)Change Oil Message (Base & Mid Line Clusters Only)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The ªCHANgE OILº message will flash
in the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator 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 position. To
turn off the message temporarily, press and release the
Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after performing the
scheduled maintenance) perform the following proce-
dure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not
start the engine).

remains unbuckled. (See page 48 for more information.)
31. Brake System Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the light turns on, it may indi-
cate that the parking brake is applied, that the
brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system (if equipped).
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-
ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is
indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

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 FUNCTION
SELECT button.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.

360É turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the ªCALº message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
