There is an ECO icon in the lower
portion of the EVIC display. This icon
will appear whenever the Multi-
Displacement System (MDS) (for
versions/markets, where provided)
allows 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 increase 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
fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset
through the SELECT button.
NOTE: Significant changes in
driving style or vehicle loading
will greatly affect the actual driv-
able distance of the vehicle, re-
gardless of the DTE displayed
value.
When the DTE value is less than
50 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” message and a new
DTE value will display. Press the
BACK button to return to the main
menu.

CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the
surface with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.NOTE: If you experience diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,
moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.
Try a known good disc before con-
sidering disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating sys-
tem is designed to make you comfort-
able in all types of weather. This sys-
tem can be operated through either
the controls on the instrument panel
or through the Uconnect® system dis-
play.
When the Uconnect® system is in dif-
ferent modes (Radio, Player, Settings,
More, etc.) the driver and passenger
temperature settings will be indicated
at the top of the display.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Hard-Keys
The hard-keys are located below the
Uconnect® screen, in the center of the
instrument panel.

CLIMATE CONTROL
FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidi-
fied air will flow through the outlets
into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, press the A/C button to turn
off the air conditioning and manually
adjust the blower and airflow mode
settings. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes.
NOTE:
If fog or mist appears on thewindshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
If your air conditioning perfor- mance seems lower than ex-
pected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front
of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through
the condenser. Fabric front fas-
cia protectors may reduce air-
flow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
MAX A/C
Max A/C sets the control for maxi-
mum cooling performance.Press and
release to toggle between Max A/C
and the prior settings. The soft-key
illuminates when Max A/C is ON.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and
mode position can be adjusted to de-
sired user settings. Pressing other set-
tings will cause the MAX A/C opera-
tion to switch to the prior settings and
the MAX A/C indicator will turn off.
Recirculation
When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. The re-
circulation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Push the button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside
air into the vehicle.
NOTE: In cold weather, use of
Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The re-
circulation feature may be un-
available (soft-key button greyed
out) if conditions exist that could
create fogging on the inside of he
windshield. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Re-
circulation mode is not allowed in
Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if
this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this
mode will cause the LED in the
control button to blink and then
turn off.

water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode dur-
ing Winter months is not recom-
mended because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation Storage
Any time you store your vehicle or
keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes in the fresh air and high
blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can
be quickly removed by turning the
mode selector to Defrost. The Defrost/
Floor mode can be used to maintain a
clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging
becomes objectionable, increase
blower speed to improve airflow and
clearing of the side windows. Vehicle
windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild but rainy or humid weather.
NOTE:
Recirculate without A/C should
not be used for long periods, as
fogging may occur.
Automatic Temperature Con- trols (ATC) will automatically
adjust the climate control set-
tings to reduce or eliminate win-
dow fogging on the front wind-
shield. When this occurs,
recirculation will be
unavailable. A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters out-
side air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally filtered out. Refer to “Mainte-
nance Procedures” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for filter replacement
instructions.

STARTING
PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust
your seat, adjust the inside and out-
side mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and
if present, instruct all other occupants
to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not leave the key fob in or nearthe vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children, and do not leave
the ignition of a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the ve-
hicle.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO™
This feature allows
the driver to oper-
ate the ignition
switch with the
push of a button,
as long as the Re-
mote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter is in the passenger
compartment.
NORMAL STARTING —
GASOLINE ENGINE
Using The ENGINE START/STOP
Button
1. The transmission must be in PARK
or NEUTRAL.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal
while pressing the ENGINE START/
STOP button once.
3. The system takes over and at-
tempts to start the vehicle. If the ve-
hicle fails to start, the starter will dis-
engage automatically after
10 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of
the engine prior to the engine starting,
press the button again.
NOTE: Normal starting of either a
cold or a warm engine is obtained
without pumping or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
197

Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking
power as the battery temperature de-
creases to -18°C. For the same de-
crease in temperature, the engine re-
quires twice as much power to crank
at the same RPM. The use of battery
blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures.
Engine Starting Procedure
WARNING!
NEVER pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquid into the air inlet open-
ing in an attempt to start the ve-
hicle. This could result in a flash
fire causing serious personal injury.
1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.
2. With your foot on the brake pedal,
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button. 3. Watch the “Wait To Start Light” in
the instrument cluster. Refer to “In-
strument Cluster” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. It may glow for up to
three seconds, depending on engine
temperature.
4. When the “Wait To Start Light”
goes out, the engine will automati-
cally start.
5. After the engine starts, allow it to
idle for approximately 30 seconds be-
fore driving. This allows oil to circu-
late and lubricate the turbocharger.
Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the
engine is cold. When starting a cold
engine, bring the engine up to operat-
ing speed slowly to allow the oil pres-
sure to stabilize as the engine warms
up.
NOTE: High-speed, no-load run-
ning of a cold engine can result in
excessive white smoke and poor
engine performance. No-load en-
gine speeds should be kept under
1,200 RPM during the warm-up
period, especially in cold ambient
temperature conditions.
If temperatures are below 0°C, oper-
ate the engine at moderate speeds for
five minutes before full loads are ap-
plied.
Engine Idling – In Cold Weather
Avoid prolonged idling in ambient
temperatures below -18°C. Long pe-
riods of idling may be harmful to your
engine because combustion chamber
temperatures can drop so low that the
fuel may not burn completely. Incom-
plete combustion allows carbon and
varnish to form on piston rings and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned
fuel can enter the crankcase, diluting
the oil and causing rapid wear to the
engine.

range (if equipped) to select a lower
gear. Under these conditions, using a
lower gear will improve performance
and extend transmission life by re-
ducing excessive shifting and heat
buildup.
During extremely cold temperatures
(-30°C or below), transmission op-
eration may be modified depending
on engine and transmission tempera-
ture as well as vehicle speed. Normal
operation will resume once the trans-
mission temperature has risen to a
suitable level.
SPORT (S) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
This mode alters the transmission's
automatic shift schedule for sportier
driving. Upshift speeds are increased
to make full use of available engine
power. To switch between DRIVE and
SPORT modes, tap the shift lever
rearward. SPORT mode is only acces-
sible from DRIVE.
LOW (L) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Use this range for engine braking
when descending very steep grades. In
this range, the transmission will
downshift for increased engine brak-
ing. To switch between DRIVE and
LOW modes, tap the shift lever rear-
ward. LOW mode is only accessible
from DRIVE.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal condi-
tions. If a condition is detected that
could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is ac-
tivated. In this mode, the transmis-
sion may operate only in certain
gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle
performance may be severely de-
graded and the engine may stall. In
some situations, the transmission may
not re-engage if the engine is turned
off and restarted. The Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL) may be illumi-
nated. A message in the instrument
cluster will inform the driver of themore serious conditions, and indicate
what actions may be necessary.
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
NOTE: In cases where the instru-
ment cluster message indicates the
transmission may not re-engage
after engine shutdown, perform
this procedure only in a desired
location (preferably, at your au-
thorized dealer).
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK,
if possible. If not, shift the transmis-
sion to NEUTRAL.
3. Press and hold the ignition switch
until the engine turns OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If
the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal op-
eration.
206

CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or
driving for any other reason with
the transmission in NEUTRAL can
cause severe transmission damage.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” and
“Towing A Disabled Vehicle” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and down-
shifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts
through underdrive first, second, and
third gears, direct fourth gear and
overdrive fifth gear. The DRIVE posi-
tion provides optimum driving char-
acteristics under all normal operating
conditions.
When frequent transmission shifting
occurs (such as when operating the
vehicle under heavy loading condi-
tions, in hilly terrain, traveling into
strong head winds, or while towingheavy trailers), use the “AutoStick®”
shift control (refer to “AutoStick®” in
this section for further information)
to select a lower gear. Under these
conditions, using a lower gear will
improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing exces-
sive shifting and heat buildup.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal condi-
tions. If a condition is detected that
could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is ac-
tivated. In this mode, the transmis-
sion remains in the current gear until
the vehicle is brought to a stop. After
the vehicle has stopped, the transmis-
sion will remain in second gear re-
gardless of which forward gear is se-
lected. PARK, REVERSE, and
NEUTRAL will continue to operate.
The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode allows the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for ser-
vice without damaging the transmis-
sion.
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If
the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal op-
eration.
NOTE: Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at
your earliest possible conve-
nience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to deter-
mine if the problem could recur. If
the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is re-
quired.
