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.

Basic operation of Memory Profile System
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individual's seat
and mirror position preferences, the Memory Profile must first recognize
who will be driving the vehicle. Drivers may identify themselves to the
system one of two ways:
²Pressing the unlock control on
the appropriate remote
transmitter (Memory position 1 or
Memory position 2 is identified by
the number on the back of the
remote transmitter) before
opening the driver's door.
²Entering either the Personality 1
or Personality 2 personalized
code into the keyless entry
keypad before opening the
driver's door.
For information on programming
personalized codes seeRemote and
Keyless entry systemsin theControl and featuressection.
Once the system has identified the driver (Memory position 1 or Memory
position 2), the seat and mirror will automatically begin to move to that
driver profile. Changes made to the seat and mirror positions will
automatically be saved to that profile.
If the driver should enter the vehicle without first identifying themselves,
all features will remain at their last setting or position and any settings
will be saved to the vehicle not individualized settings.

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
message center to cycle through the
status of each of the systems being
monitored. For each of these systems, the message center will indicate
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
