    							To adjust your mirrors, make sure you
    switch your vehicle on (with the ignition in
    accessory mode or the engine running) and
    then press the adjustment control to
    position the mirrors.
    Note:
    Moving the mirrors 10 or more times
    within one minute, or repeated folding,
    unfolding and telescoping of the mirrors
    while holding the control down during full
    travel, may disable the system to protect
    the motors from overheating. Wait
    approximately three minutes with the
    vehicle running, and up to 10 minutes with
    the vehicle off, for the system to reset and
    for function to return to normal.
    Loose Mirror
    If your power-folding mirrors are manually
    folded, they may not work properly even
    after you re-position them. You need to
    reset them if:
    • The mirrors vibrate when you drive.
    • The mirrors feel loose.
    • The mirrors do not stay in the folded or
    unfolded position.
    • One of the mirrors is not in its normal
    driving position.
    To reset the power-fold feature, use the
    power-folding mirror control to fold and
    unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud
    noise as you reset the power-folding
    mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this
    process as needed each time the mirrors
    are manually folded.

    mirror head up or down and from side to
    side.
    Pull the tab below the mirror toward you
    to reduce glare at night.
    Auto-Dimming Mirror (If Equipped)
    Note: Do not block the sensors on the front
    and back of the mirror. Mirror performance
    may be affected. A rear center passenger or
    raised rear center head restraint may also
    block light from reaching the sensor.
    The mirror will dim automatically to reduce
    glare when bright lights are detected from
    behind your vehicle. It will automatically
    return to normal reflection when you select
    reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
    view when backing up.

    							Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
    Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle
    should stay in the normal operating range
    (between L and H). If the needle falls
    below the normal range, stop your vehicle,
    turn off the engine and check the engine
    oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
    correct, have your vehicle checked by an
    authorized dealer.
    Engine Coolant Temperature
    Gauge
    WARNING
    Never remove the coolant reservoir
    cap when the engine is running or
    hot.
    Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
    normal operating temperature, the level
    indicator will be in the normal range. If the
    engine coolant temperature exceeds the
    normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
    safely possible, switch off the engine and
    let the engine cool.
    Fuel Gauge
    Note:
    The fuel gauge may vary slightly
    when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
    Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
    indicate approximately how much fuel is
    left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
    the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
    side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
    located. The needle should move toward F when
    you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
    to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
    vehicle needs service soon.
    After refueling some variability in needle
    position is normal:
    •
    It may take a short time for the needle
    to reach F after leaving the gas station.
    This is normal and depends upon the
    slope of pavement at the gas station.
    • The fuel amount dispensed into the
    tank is a little less or more than the
    gauge indicated. This is normal and
    depends upon the slope of pavement
    at the gas station.
    • If the gas station nozzle shuts off
    before the tank is full, try a different
    gas pump nozzle.
    Low Fuel Reminder
    A low fuel reminder triggers when the
    distance to empty value reaches 50 mi
    (80 km) to empty, with additional
    warnings at 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
    and 0 mi (0 km) to empty, provided the
    message is cleared each time. An
    additional warning at 
    75 mi (120 km) to
    empty is provided when the MyKey is being
    used.
    Variations:
    Note: The distance-to-empty warning can appear at different fuel gauge positions depending
    on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

    Transmission Fluid Temperature
    Gauge
    Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
    At normal operating temperature, the level
    indicator will be in the normal range. If the
    transmission fluid temperature exceeds
    the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon
    as safely possible and verify the airflow is
    not restricted such as snow or debris
    blocking airflow through the grill. Also,
    higher than normal operating temperature
    can be caused by special operation
    conditions (i.e. snowplowing, towing or
    off-road use).  See Special Operating
    Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
    (page 
    575).  Operating the transmission for
    extended periods with the gauge in the
    higher than normal area may cause
    internal transmission damage. You need
    to alter the severity of your driving
    conditions to lower the transmission
    temperature into the normal range. If the
    gauge continues to show high
    temperatures, see an authorized dealer.
    Turbo Boost Gauge
     (If Equipped)
    Indicates the amount of manifold air
    pressure in the engine.
    DEF Gauge
     (If Equipped)
    Indicates the current DEF level. WARNING LAMPS AND
    INDICATORS
    The following warning lamps and
    indicators will alert you to a vehicle
    condition that may become serious. Some
    lamps will illuminate when you start your
    vehicle to make sure they work. If any
    lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
    refer to the respective system warning
    lamp for further information.
    Note:
    Some warning indicators appear in
    the information display and function the
    same as a warning lamp but do not display
    when you start your vehicle.
    Adaptive Cruise Control
     (If Equipped) The speed control system
    indicator light changes color to
    indicate what mode the system
