Battery Run-Down Protection
The vehicle has a feature to help prevent the
battery from draining in case the interior, trunk, or
underhood lamps are accidentally left on. If
any of these lamps are left on while the ignition is
in OFF, they will automatically turn off after
10 minutes. The lamps will not come back on
again until any of the following are done:
The ignition is turned to RUN or ACC.
The interior lamps control is turned completely
to the right, then back slightly to the left.
Open, or close and reopen, a door that is
closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on
the odometer, the battery saver will turn off
the lamps after only three minutes.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright or too high
in your eld of view, it may take you more
time to see things you need to see when it
is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD
image dim and placed low in your eld
of view.
If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD),
some information concerning the operation of the
vehicle is projected onto the windshield. This
includes the speedometer reading, transaxle
positions, compass direction, outside air
temperature, the tap shift gear and the upshift
symbol if active, and a brief display of the current
radio station, including XM information or CD
track. It will also display turn-by-turn guidance
information if the vehicle is has a navigation radio.
The images are projected by the HUD lens
located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.
151

The vehicle is equipped with this cluster or one
very similar to it. It has indicator warning lights that
are explained on the following pages. Be sure to
read about them.
Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h). The odometer, located on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display, shows how
far the vehicle has been driven, in either miles or
kilometers. SeeDIC Controls and Displays
(Base Level DIC) on page 186orDIC Controls
and Displays (Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer) on
page 190for more information.
If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) the
speed will also be displayed on the HUD screen.If a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed,
a new one can be set to the mileage total of
the old odometer, if that can be done. If it cannot,
than it will be set at zero and a label must be
put on the driver’s door to show the old mileage
reading when the new odometer was installed.Trip Odometer
The trip odometer, located in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), tells how far the vehicle has
driven since it was last reset. The miles
(kilometers) for two different trips can be viewed.
SeeDIC Controls and Displays (Base Level
DIC) on page 186orDIC Controls and Displays
(Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer) on page 190for
more information on setting the trip odometer.
170

When the indicator nears empty, there is still a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Here are four things owners usually ask about the
fuel gage. All these situations are normal and
do not indicate a problem with the fuel gage:
At the gas station the pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes more or less fuel to ll up than the
gage indicates. For example, the gage
reads half full, but it took more or less than
half the tank’s capacity to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate full when the
ignition is turned off.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives
important safety and maintenance facts. When the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, all of the DIC
lights illuminate for a few seconds and an
introductory message will appear. After this, the
DIC will begin working.
DIC Controls and Displays
(Base Level DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) control
buttons and the message display screen are
located above the radio. The DIC gives important
safety and maintenance facts concerning the
vehicle. The status of many of the vehicle’s
systems along with driver personal programming
mode menus and warning messages about
the vehicle’s systems may display on the DIC
screen.
The vehicle’s transaxle position will also appear.
The buttons on the base level are trip odometer,
set/reset, and options.
186

Trip Odometer
3(Trip Odometer):Press this button to access
the odometer and trip distance modes.
The rst menu on the DIC screen will be the
odometer reading, or cumulative mileage of the
vehicle. The odometer cannot be reset.
Press the trip odometer button to advance to the
next menu.
Trip Distances:This menu shows the distances
that the vehicle has driven between specic
points. The trip odometer will record the number of
miles up to 9,999.9 miles or 9 999.9 km travelled
for up to two trips. When 9,999.9 miles or
9 999.9 km is reached for either trip, the odometer
for that trip will go back to zero.
Press the trip odometer button again to access
TRIP A. Press the trip odometer button again
to access TRIP B. To reset the trip odometer(s)
back to zero miles or kilometers, access the trip to
reset and press the set/reset button.The trip odometer has a feature called the
retro-active reset. This can be used to set the trip
odometer to the number of miles or kilometers
driven since the ignition was last turned on. This
can be used if the trip odometer was not reset
at the beginning of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature, press and
hold the set/reset button for at least three seconds.
The trip odometer will display the number of
miles or kilometers driven since the ignition was
last turned on and the vehicle began moving. Once
the vehicle has begun moving, the trip odometer
will accumulate mileage. For example, if the
vehicle was driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) before the
vehicle is started again, and then the retro-active
reset feature is activated, the display will show
5.0 miles (8.0 km). As the vehicle begins moving,
the display will increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated after
the vehicle is started, but before it begins moving,
the display will show the number of miles or
kilometers that were driven during the last ignition
cycle.
Press the trip odometer button again to access the
odometer.

The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates
the need to manually set the compass. However,
under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary
to compensate for compass variance and reset the
zone through the DIC. SeeDIC Compass
(Uplevel DIC) on page 198for more information.
The buttons on the DIC trip computer are gages,
trip odometer, set/reset, options, and fuel.

screen will appear. The DIC monitors and
keeps track of the maximum levels for
acceleration, deceleration, and lateral-acceleration
achieved since the screen was last reset. If you
try to select this screen while the vehicle is
moving, the message MAXIMUM Gs NOT
AVAILABLE WHILE MOVING will display. To view
the maximum accelerations achieved since last

started again, and then the retro-active reset
feature is activated, the display will show 5.0 miles
(8.0 km). As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated after the
vehicle is started, but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number of miles or kilometers
that were driven during the last ignition cycle.
