5. Once the driver’s side crossbar is in place, tighten the

thumb screws completely.

6. Repeat the procedure to stow the second crossbar on the

opposite side.

NOTE:
• To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the side

rails when they are not in use.

• If any metallic object is placed over the satellite radio

antenna (if equipped), you may experience interruption
of satellite radio reception.

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the ve-
hicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

CAUTION!

• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO

NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer between the
load and the roof surface.

• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not

exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb
(68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

• Load should always be secured to cross bars first,

with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and
thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.

• Long loads that extend over the windshield, such as

wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front and
rear of the vehicle.

• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully

when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

• The use of Sport Mode is not recommended when

using the Roof Luggage Rack to carry a load.

Instrument Cluster Descriptions

1. Tachometer

• Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute

(RPM x 1000).

2. Speedometer

• Indicates vehicle speed.

3. Temperature Gauge

• The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-

perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-
cates that the engine cooling system is operating
satisfactorily.

• The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-

perature when driving in hot weather, up mountain
grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal
operating range.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look
under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And Mainte-
nace”. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System
Pressure Cap paragraph.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the
air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the
“H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.

4. Fuel Gauge

• The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank

when the Keyless Push Button Ignition is in the
ON/RUN position.

•

The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the

vehicle where the fuel door is located.

5. Instrument Cluster Display

• The instrument cluster display features a driver-

interactive display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Dis-
play” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.

NOTE:

The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check

when the ignition is first cycled.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle will be equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver. With
the ignition in the STOP/OFF mode, opening/closing of a
door will activate the display for viewing, and display the
total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. Your instrument
cluster display is designed to display important informa-
tion about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a

driver interactive display located on the instrument panel,
your instrument cluster display can show you how sys-
tems are working and give you warnings when they are
not. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to
scroll through the main menus and submenus. You can
access the specific information you want and make selec-
tions and adjustments.

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi-
cator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will
display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds

after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indi-
cator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine

personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position. To
turn off the message temporarily, push and release the OK
or arrow buttons. To reset the oil change indicator system

Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message —
Electrical Load Reduction Actions — If Equipped

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical
system and status of the vehicle battery.

In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical
load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving
time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing
power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.

Load reduction is only active when the engine is running.
It will display a message if there is a risk of battery
depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to
lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current
drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery
Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the
instrument cluster.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low state
of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at a rate
that the charging system cannot sustain.
