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
empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than
the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area
between the ªHº and ªCº). If it enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the
ignition and let it cool. Refer toEngine coolantin theMaintenance
and carechapter.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running or
hot.

ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED)
The electronic message center only works when the ignition is in the ON
position.
The message center allows you to:
²display the outside temperature.
²change your gauges from English
to metric units.
²monitor the instantaneous fuel
economy.
²monitor the average fuel
economy.
²see how many kilometers/miles you can drive before running out of
fuel.
You can select different features for the message center to display by
using the message center controls located to the left of the instrument
panel.

Message center functions
OUTSIDE TEMP
Press SELECT until the menu
displays OUTSIDE TEMP. This will
display the temperature of the air
outside of your vehicle. The
accurate temperature will be
displayed after the vehicle has
reached the outside temperature
and is driven at speeds of 48 km/h
(30 mph) or greater.
INST ECONOMY
Press SELECT until the menu
displays INST ECONOMY. This will
display your fuel economy in
liters/100 km or miles/gallon based
on the type of traffic you are in.
Your vehicle must be moving to
calculate instantaneous fuel
economy. When your vehicle is not
moving, this function shows 99 L/100km or 0 MILES/GAL. Instantaneous
fuel economy cannot be reset.
AVG ECONOMY
Press SELECT until the menu
displays AVG ECONOMY. This will
display your average fuel economy
in liters/100 km or miles/gallon.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing liters of fuel
used by 100 kilometers traveled
(miles traveled by gallons used),
your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
²your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
²differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
²rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 liter (gallon)

Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic
message center display
Use the following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your
actual highway fuel economy. This procedure requires the vehicle speed
control system to be set to highway speeds and 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. Select AVG ECONOMY.
3. Press the RESET control to clear
the 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.
4. Drive the vehicle at least 8 km (5 miles) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
5. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed
control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
TO EMPTY
Press SELECT until the menu
displays TO EMPTY. This will
display how many kilometers or
miles you can drive until you run
out of fuel.
To ensure accuracy, turn the
ignition off when you fill the fuel
tank.
When the engine is restarted, the message center will display the last
setting selected.

The EATC system will maintain a selected temperature and automatically
control airflow. You can override automatic operation with any of the
override controls or the fan speed control.
Turning the EATC on
Press AUTOMATIC, any of the override controls or the fan speed control.
The EATC will only operate when the engine is running.
Turning the EATC off
Press OFF.
Automatic operation
Press AUTOMATIC and select the desired temperature. The selected
temperature and the word AUTO will appear in the display window. The
EATC system will either heat or cool to achieve the selected
temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location and if outside air or recirculated air is required. Fan speed
remains automatic unless the fan speed control is turned.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air will be
sent to the front and rear floor ducts. However, if the engine is not warm
enough to provide heat, the fan will be at a low speed and the air will be

directed to the windshield. In 31¤2minutes or less, the fan speed will
start to increase and the airflow location will change to the front and
rear floor area.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to adjust the mode selector and fan speed
controls as necessary.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of fan
speed (
) if automatic fan speed is not desired.
To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 15ÉC
(60ÉF) and 32ÉC (90ÉF) by pressing
the temperature controls.
For continuous maximum cooling, push the temperature control until
15ÉC (60ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
warmer temperature is selected by pressing the temperature controls.
For continuous maximum heating, push the temperature controls until
32ÉC (90ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
cooler temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control.
