items. When you make a selection,
press ENTER to go to that selection. The knob turns lef t and right. Use it
to make selections or adjustments to
a list or menu on the screen.When you unlock the doors with
your remote and turn the audio

or Driver 2) is detected, and the
radio preset memory (see page ),
the auto select preset memory (see
page ), and the volume and
sound level settings (see page )
are turned to the respective
memorized mode automatically.
The audio system can also be
operated by voice control.

the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas.
Satellite signals are more likely to be
blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the f arther north you
travel from the equator.
Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interf erence can be caused by any of
these conditions:
Driving on the north side of an
east/west mountain road.
Driving on the north side of a
large commercial truck on an
east/west road.
Driving on a road beside a vertical
wall, steep clif f , or hill to the south

The vehicle ‘‘senses’’ the driver
number, based on which keyless
remote is used to unlock the vehicle.
If two drivers with remotes approach
thevehicleatthesametime,the
welcome display and related settings
are based on which remote the
vehicle f irst ‘‘senses.’’
If both remotes come within
range simultaneously, the
‘‘Welcome’’ display may be
unpredictable.
The compass system uses the driver
number (as recognized by the multi-
inf ormation display) to personalize
the compass system. For example, if
Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the
‘‘Driver 1’’ personal address book
and other navigation settings are
automatically loaded when the
vehicle is started. There is no way to
change f rom one driver’s settings to
another while driving.For inf ormation on ‘‘linking’’ and
‘‘unlinking’’ the keyless access
remotes, see page .
The calendar f eature is not
selectable (buttons grayed out).
Setup values (like volume,
brightness, etc.) can be changed
but are not remembered the next
time you restart the vehicle. When the keyless access remote is
deliberately ‘‘unlinked,’’ (as when
giving the remote without the built-in
key to a valet) the multi-inf ormation
display will display ‘‘Welcome.’’ Then
the f ollowing occurs:174 K eyless Memory Settings
