The window controls will operate when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position.
Settings (Customer Programmable Featur es),” under “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4. W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power WINDOW switches.
LIFTGA TE NOTE: The key that is used to start your vehicle is also used to lock or unlock the doors and open the liftgate. T o unlock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock and turn it to the right (manual lock models only).
• Although the liftgate has no inside release mechanism, the liftgate trim panel includes an opening with a snap-in cap that provides access to r elease the latch in the event of an electrical system malfunction. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right head restraint. 4. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the mini- latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear a “click.” 5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap.
6. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 7. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt.
9. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. 10. T o disengage the mini-latch from the mini-buckle for storage, insert the regular latch plate into the black button on the top of the mini-buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.

4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming. BeltAlert 威 can be reactivated by r epeating this procedur e.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . This vehicle may also be equipped with side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window .
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflat- ing.
moderate-to-severe side collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be trig- gered. But even in collisions wher e the airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly .
4. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door . Airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center .
• Supplemental Side Curtain Airbags above side win- dows (if equipped) • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting W iring • Seatbelt Reminder Light • Knee Impact Bols.
• The ORC also turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for six to eight seconds as a self-check when the ignition is first turned ON.
• The Side Impact (SRS) Side Curtain Airbags (If equipped) are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. The ORC module determines if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the side airbags to inflate. The side airbag control module will not detect r ollover , front or r ear collisions.
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees, and position everyone for the best interaction with the front airbag. W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash.
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by- product of the pr ocess that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
moment of airbag deployment, or near-deployment, and up to a quarter second of high-speed deceleration data during and/or after air bag deployment or near- deployment. EDR data are ONL Y r ecorded if an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and are otherwise unavail- able.

Used for resear ch purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash recor d in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is ther eafter preserved 2.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
• Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one-year old and weigh at least 20 lbs. (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and ⬙ convertible ⬙ child seats.
seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt. (Some booster seats are equipped with a fr ont shield and are held in the vehicle by the lap portion.) NOTE: For additional information refer to www .seatcheck.org. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
The passenger seat belts are equipped with either cinching latch plates or seat belt retractors that can be switched to an automatic locking mode, which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) T o operate the switchable retractor , pull the belt from the retractor until ther e is enough to allow it to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then pull on the belt until it is fully extended from the r etractor .
Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor - age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren. The LA TCH system provides for the installation of the child r estraint without using the vehicle seat belt.
Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufactur ers will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products.
Installing the Child Restraint System W e urge you to car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Many , but not all, restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector and a means for adjusting the tension in the strap.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
While cruising, brief full-thr ottle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good br eak-in. W ide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri- mental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
W ARNING! If you are required to drive with the deck lid/liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect tr ead and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons.
W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic trans- axle cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
Use each gear in numerical order , do not skip a gear . Be sure the transaxle is in 1st gear , (not 3rd gear), when starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can result fr om starting in 3rd gear . For most city driving you will find it easier to use only the lower gears.
CAUTION! If you skip more than one gear while downshifting or downshift at too high of a vehicle speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch. T o maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descending a steep grade.
2. Slow down if the road has standing water or puddles. 3. Replace the tires when tr ead wear indicators first become visible. 4. Keep the tires pr operly inflated. 5. Maintain enough distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a collision in a sudden stop.
CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances.
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the brake light in the instrument cluster will come on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle is moving, a chime will sound to alert the driver .
Y ou should always apply the parking brake before leav- ing the vehicle. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
If either of the two hydraulic systems lose normal capa- bility , the remaining system will still function with some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident by increased pedal travel during application and gr eater pedal force r equired to slow or stop.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely , or hydro- planing.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM If your vehicle is equipped with the advanced electronic brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem (ABS), T raction Control System (TCS) Brake Assist System (BAS), and Electronic Stability Pr ogram (ESP).
W ARNING! • BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that af forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ESP/TCS Indicator Light The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.
This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial ESP” for specific reasons as noted below . Partial ESP This mode is entered by momentarily depr essing the “ESP OFF” switch.
Full Of f This mode is intended for off-highway or of f-road use only and should not be used on any public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESP stability featur es are turned OFF . T o enter the “Full Off” mode, depr ess and hold the ESP OFF switch for five seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched OFF , the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer - gency evasive maneuver , the ESP system will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for of f-highway or off- road only .
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
• L T (Light T ruck) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. The size designation for L T -Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tir es except for the letters “L T” that are molded into the sidewall preced- ing the size designation.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light truck tir e based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can ca.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.

278 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.” Cold tir e inflation pressure is defined as the tire pr essure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.
W ARNING! High-speed driving, with your vehicle at or above maximum load, is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Do not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h), or for more than 30 seconds continuously , when you are stuck; and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point. Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors, including, but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pr essure • Distance driven W ARNING! The tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during W inter . Standard tir es are of the all-season type and satisfy this requir ement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire sidewall. If you need snow tires, select tir es equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires.
Follow the recommended tir e rotation fr equency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” section of this manual. More fr equent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to r otation being per- formed.
• The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure if the tire pr essure falls below the low-pr essure warn- ing limit for any reason, including low temperatur e effects, or natural pr essure loss thr ough the tire.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pr essure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tir e pressur e lev- els.
Check TPMS W arnings The T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and r emain on solid when a system fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat pr oviding the system fault still exists.

Over 40 automobile manufacturers ar ound the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) that define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
Problems that r esult from using methanol/gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are not the r esponsibility of the manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Methanol. E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain- ing 10% ethanol (E10).
content of gasoline may not be indicated on the pump, you should ask your gasoline retailer if the gasoline contains MMT . It is even more important to look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than allowed in the United States.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, are not r ecommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives are not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door , on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door .
NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control sys- tem could result from using an improper fuel tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. TRAILER TOWING T railer towing with this vehicle is not recommended.
NOTE: ONL Y vehicles equipped with MANUAL TRANSAXLES may be recr eationally towed at any legal highway speed, for any distance, if the MANUAL TRANSAXLE is in NEUTRAL and the ignition key is in the ACC position. CAUTION! Rear wheel lifts should not be used.

The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.
DEALER SERVICE Y our authorized dealer has the qualified service person- nel, special tools, and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner . Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Do not check oil level before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking engine oil level when the engine is cold will give you an incorrect r eading.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 0W -40 engine oil is preferr ed for use in 2.4L T urbo Engine within the operating temperatures shown in the engine oil viscosity chart.
Materials Added T o Engine Oils The manufacture str ongly recommends against the addi- tion of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered pr oduct and it’s performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner removed.
W ARNING! (Continued) Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or sparks away from the battery . Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output greater than 12 volts. Do not allow cable clamps to touch each other . Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds.
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer appr oved A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Conditioners, Compr es- sor Oil, or Refrigerants. Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such it.
avoid damaging the blade. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum pr oducts such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Adding W asher Fluid The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shar ed. The fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment, be sure to check the fluid level at regular intervals.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system, or if exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have a competent technician inspect the complete ex- haust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, dam- aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot.
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion pro- tection.
When adding engine coolant (antifreeze): • The manufacturer r ecommends using MOP AR 威 Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Y ear/100,000 Mile Formula HOA T (Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology) • Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water .
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points to Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the corr ect type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
W ARNING! Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident. CAUTION! Use of improper brake fluids will affect overall clutch system performance.
Frequency Of Fluid Change Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary unless the following conditions exist: • The lubricant has become contaminated with water .
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using MOP AR 威 Car W ash or a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water . • If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOP AR 威 Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove.
• If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and pr otective coating, have your vehicle repair ed as soon as pos- sible. The cost of such repairs is consider ed the respon- sibility of the owner . • If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc.
Stubborn soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and MOP AR 威 T otal Clean. Care should be taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter- gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather upholstery .
Instrument Panel Cover The instrument panel cover has a low glar e surface which minimizes reflections in the windshield. Do not use protectants or other pr oducts which may cause undesir- able reflections. Use soap and warm water to r estore the low glare surface.
