accuracy, turn the ignition to OFF
when you fill the fuel tank.
RANGE is calculated using a
running average fuel economy set 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
km (500 miles) of driving history.
If FUEL SENSOR SHORT or OPEN are displayed, there is a problem
with the fuel indication system. If these messages or DATA ERROR are
displayed, you should contact your dealer as soon as possible.

Operating tips
²In humid weather, select DEFbefore driving. This will prevent
your windshield from fogging. After a few minutes, select any desired
position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
²When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.
AUDIO SYSTEM
Refer to the ªAudio Guideº for instructions on how to operate the audio
system.
