Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp or cigarette lighters. When the ignition is
turned
off, the power to these features will automatically
turn
off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk
is opened or the courtesy lamps are turned on. To
restore power back to the cigarette lighters the ignition
must be turned back to
ON.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) than normal to
make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads
may occur when several
of the following are on:
headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, fan on high speed, heated seats and engine
cooling fans.
If your vehicle’s battery remains in a heavy discharge
condition for a long period of time, the fan, rear
defogger, heated seats and heated mirrors will be
disabled and the DIC will display BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE. This can happen either under long periods of
idling or low speed driving with high electrical loading,
or in the event of a charging system fault.
Monitor the battery voltage when in the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE mode.
If the voltmeter remains in the shaded area (below
11 volts) when driving then have the charging
system serviced immediately.
If the voltage increases above 12 volts then the
battery needs to be recharged.
Try driving on
the highway with as few electrical accessories on
as possible.

Calibrating the Compass
All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic
profile of your vehicle. This is called calibration and
is done automatically by your compass. However, if you
would like
to manually calibrate the compass, the
following instructions will show you how.
Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the
compass.
If the compass display does not show a
direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on
the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows:
1. Drive the vehicle to an open, flat area.
2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.
3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO
RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET
button.
4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN
SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small
circles. Don’t drive faster than
10 mph (1 6 km/h).
5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION
COMPLETE message is displayed on the DIC and
a direction is shown for the compass.
Compass Accuracy
Your compass may show different headings around
bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills.
This is normal and
is true of compasses in general.
If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk
they could affect accuracy.
If the affect is minimal,
the compass will adapt to these objects over time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to
mount it away from the center of the trunk near the
rear window.
The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the
compass corrects for the rear defog. However,
if the rear
defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off
again, the accuracy returns
to normal.
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in
the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not
know they are there. As an example, many concrete
roads have metal reinforcements inside.
Also,
if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this
when a direction
is shown and the CALIBRATE
COMPASS message is no longer displayed.

Trunk-Mounted CD Changer
With the optional compact disc changer, you can play
up to
12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may
be played using the trays supplied in the magazine.
The small discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially
designed trays.
Notice: Place large objects in the trunk
appropriately
so that they will not come into contact
with the
CD changer. Damage could result that
wouldn’t
be covered by your warranty.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the
12 trays holds
one disc. Slide the button on the top of the magazine
and pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from
top
to bottom, placing a disc on the tray label side
up.
If you load a disc label side down, the disc will not
play and an error will occur. Gently push the tray
back into the magazine slot until it locks into place.
Repeat this procedure for loading up to
12 discs in the
magazine.

Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your vehicle in good shape for winter
YOU may want to put winter emergency supplies in
your trunk. Include
an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a
supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter
outer clothing,
a small shovel, a flashlight, a red
cloth and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And,
if
you will be driving under severe conditions, include a
small bag
of sand, a piece of old carpet or a couple of
burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you
properly secure these items in your vehicle.
4-26

And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it
out. Don’t carry more than 176 Ibs. (80 kg) in
your trunk.
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, and
it can change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to lose
control and crash.
Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
Nofice: Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
If you put things inside your vehicle - like suitcases,
tools, packaqes, or anything else
- they will go as fast
as the vehicle goes.
If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or
if there is a crash, they’ll keep going. Things you
put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people
in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the trunk of your vehicle. In a
trunk, put them as far forward as you can.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle
so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
0 Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure
it whenever you can.
