The multi-information display in the
instrument panel displays various
information and messages when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position. Some of the messages help
you operate your vehicle more
comfortably. Others help to keep you
aware of the periodic maintenance
your vehicle needs for continued
trouble-free driving.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). See page 196 for ignition
switch and power mode comparison.
There are three types of messages:
normal display messages, engine oil
life and maintenance messages, and
system messages.You can select the displayed
language and also customize some
vehicle control settings to your liking
with the multi-information display
and the buttons on the steering
wheel (see page 79).
Normal Display Messages

the ON (II) position, the display
shows
‘‘DRIVER 1’’ or‘‘DRIVER 2’’
depending on which remote
transmitter/keyless access remote
you use.On models with keyless access systemThe driver's ID (1 or 2) is displayed
when the power mode is set to ON.Remote transmitter/keyless
access remote 1 is used.
Remote transmitter/keyless
