Engine Oil Change Indicator System
— If Equipped
Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change Re-
quired” message will display in the EVIC display
for approximately five seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the next sched-
uled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty-cycle based, whichmeans the engine oil change interval may fluc-
tuate dependent upon your personal driving
style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you place the ignition in the
ON/RUN position. To turn off the message
temporarily, push and release the Trip Odom-
eter button on the instrument cluster. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after perform-
ing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the
following procedure.
1. Place the ignition in the ON position.Do not
start the engine.
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when
you start the vehicle, the oil change indica-
tor system did not reset. If necessary, repeat
this procedure.

Average Fuel EconomyShows the average fuel economy since the last
reset (pushing and holding theRIGHTarrow
button as prompted in the EVIC display to
reset). When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will read “RESET” or show dashes for
two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
elled 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. This is not resettable.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 text display of"LOW
FUEL.” This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
"LOW FUEL"text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the
DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.

death.
Manual Transmission — If EquippedBefore starting the engine fully apply the park-
ing brake, press the clutch pedal to the floor and
place the gear selector in NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
The engine will not start unless the clutch
pedal is pressed to the floor.
Automatic Transmission — If
Equipped
The gear selector must be in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position before you can start the
engine. Press the brake pedal before shifting to
any driving gear.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal before shift-
ing out of PARK.Tip Start
Do notpress the accelerator. Turn the ignition
switch to the START position and release it as
soon as the starter engages. The starter motor
will continue to run, and it will disengage auto-
matically when the engine is running. If the
engine fails to start, the starter will disengage
automatically in 10 seconds. If this occurs, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10
to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Start-
ing” procedure.
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Normal StartingNormal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine does not require pumping or pressing
the accelerator pedal. Simply turn the ignition
switch to the START position and release when
the engine starts. If the engine fails to start
within 15 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
165

WARNING!
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter and
vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery, booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow the procedure carefully. Refer to
“Jump-Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” for further information.
Extreme Cold Weather (below −20°F
or −29°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To StartIf the engine fails to start after you have followed
the “Normal Starting” procedure, it may be
flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine
for no more than 15 seconds. This should clear
any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
Leave the ignition key in the ON position, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into
the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank the engine for more than 15 seconds
at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
After StartingThe idle speed will automatically decrease as
the engine warms up.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF
EQUIPPED
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
parking brake fully applied. The parking
brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
Fully press the clutch pedal before you shift
gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly
press the accelerator pedal.
166

DownshiftingProper downshifting will improve fuel economy
and prolong engine life.
CAUTION!
If you skip a gear while downshifting or
downshift at too high of a vehicle speed,
these conditions may cause the engine to
overspeed if too low of a gear is selected and
the clutch pedal is released. Damage to the
clutch and the transmission can result from
skipping a gear while downshifting or down-
shifting at too high of a vehicle speed even if
the clutch pedal is held pressed (i.e., not
released).
To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life,
shift down to second or first gear when de-
scending a steep grade.
When turning a corner or driving up a steep
grade, downshift early so that the engine will not
be overburdened.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
— IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not observed:
•Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
•Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
•Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
hit someone or something. Only shift into
gear when the engine is idling normally
and your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
•Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always shift the transmis-
sion into PARK, apply the parking brake,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the igni-
tion key. Once the key is removed, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement.
