Supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning chime
For information on the SRS warning chime, refer to theSeating and
safety restraintschapter.
Key-in-ignition warning chime
Sounds when the key is left in the ignition in the OFF/LOCK or ACC
position and the driver's door is opened.
Headlamps on warning chime
Sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the ignition is off

GAUGES
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion. The ignition
should be in the OFF position while
the vehicle is being refueled. When
the gauge first indicates empty,
there is a small amount of reserve
fuel in the tank. When refueling the
vehicle from an empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added
will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication
will not be accurate.
ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER
The electronic message center only
works when the ignition is in the
ON position.
The message center tells you about
the condition of your vehicle by two
methods:
²operator selectable features
²continuous warning reporting of
monitored systems
You can select different features for
the message center to display by
using the message center controls
located to the right of the instrument
cluster. You will hear a tone when you press one of these controls.
However, the message center will display the appropriate warning message
if it detects a warning from any of the monitored systems.
If you have a vehicle with the Driver
Select System, which allows you to
save operator selectable features to
DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2, you have a
DRIVER ID control in place of the E/M control.
The message center will display theMemory Profile Systemfeatures
(operator selectable features) which are selected from the MENU and
VEHICLE HANDLING controls.
The Memory Profile System allows for two primary drivers to save their
individual seat and outside rearview mirror position preferences. The
feature will then be set to the remote entry transmitter, that will
automatically recall the saved individualized preferences. Refer toBasic
Operation of Memory Profile Systemin this section.

If Memory position 1 or Memory
position 2 wishes to make
temporary changes to their seat or
outside mirror positions without
affecting their preferred positions
they may do so by:
²
Using the switch on the back of
the remote transmitter to turn the
Memory Profile System OFF prior
to pressing the unlock control on
the remote transmitter or
unlocking the vehicle with the key.
²Entering the vehicle without
identifying themselves using the two methods listed above.
²Turning the DRIVER ID (if equipped in the message center) OFF to
allow for temporary setting changes.
This option may be useful to temporarily reposition the driver's seat and
mirrors during an extended drive.
Operator selectable features
System check
Pressing this control causes the

either an OK message or a warning message for three seconds.
The sequence of the system check report is:
²voltage level
²engine temp
²oil level
²coolant level
²washer fluid
²doors (driver and passenger side). This message can only be reset by
closing the door(s). If the RESET control is pressed, PLEASE CLOSE

The DTE function will flash for 5 seconds and sound a tone for 1 second
when you have approximately:
²40 km (25 miles)
²16 km (10 miles)
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy initialized by the
factory. This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display.
The running average fuel economy is based on more than 800 kilometers
(500 miles) of driving history, and is reinitialized if the battery is
disconnected.
If the FUEL LEVEL ERROR message is displayed, there is a problem
with the fuel indication system and you should contact your dealer for
service as soon as possible.
Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic
message center display
The following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual
highway fuel economy. Since this procedure requires the vehicle speed
control system to be set to highway speeds, it must be run only on
suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely
maintained.
You may notice gradual improvement in fuel economy over the course of
your vehicle's break-in period (approximately 1 600 kilometers [1 000
miles]).
1. Set the speed control. Refer toSpeed controlin theControls and
featureschapter.
2. Press the Distance to Empty
(DTE) Economy (ECON) control
until ªAverage Miles per Gallonº is
displayed.
3. Press the RESET control to clear
the DTE/ECON system memory.
²Actual highway fuel economy is
now displayed.This current average measure will change as the
speed control system changes the engine speed to maintain a constant
vehicle speed. This is most noticeable in hilly environments.
It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed
control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
