Your vehicle’s Driver Information Center, located below the tachometer in the instrument panel cluster, can display trip information, fuel economy information, personalization features and other vehicle messages and warnings.

The DIC controls are located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering wheel.

Press the (Information) button to scroll up or down through the following Vehicle Information selections:

The trip odometer has a retroactive reset feature, which sets the trip odometer to the number of miles driven since the ignition was last turned on. This can be useful if you forget to reset the trip odometer before beginning a trip.

To use the retroactive reset feature, push and hold the trip/reset button for at least six seconds.

Note: If the remote vehicle start system is used to start the vehicle, the trip odometer will not recognize that ignition cycle and will set the trip odometer to the number of miles driven since the last key-start ignition cycle.

Compass

Your vehicle’s compass is self-calibrating. However, it may be necessary under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip, to compensate for compass variance and reset the compass zone through the DIC. Refer to the calibration procedure in your Owner Manual for more details.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FEATURES

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

This feature allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle’s doors, open or close the power sliding door(s) (if equipped) and sound an alarm using the RKE transmitter (key fob).

Unlocking the Doors

• Press on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door. Press the button again within five seconds to unlock all doors.

Sounding the Panic Alarm

• Press on the RKE transmitter when the ignition is turned off. The horn will sound and the parking lamps and headlamps will flash for up

to two minutes. To cancel the panic alarm, press the button again or insert the key in the ignition and turn it to the Run position.

Opening and Closing the Power Sliding Door(s) (if equipped)

• Press on the RKE transmitter to open the passenger-side power sliding door. Press the button again to close the door.

• Press on the RKE transmitter to open the driver-side power sliding door. Press the button again to close the door.

Note: All doors will unlock when opening the sliding door(s) with the RKE transmitter.

See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Remote Start (if equipped)

This feature allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle by using the RKE transmitter. (Normal remote start transmitter range is within approximately 200 feet of the vehicle.) You can also preset the vehicle’s climate control system to heat or cool the vehicle interior.

The engine will run for about 10 minutes before turning itself off, but can be extended 10 minutes more by performing another remote start sequence at any time. After two consecutive remote starts, no additional remote starts are allowed until the vehicle has been started with the ignition key.
