The DIC is used to program the choices of two drivers.
The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 in
the DIC display. You will let the DIC know which driver
you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter.
Each remote keyless entry transmitter was
pre-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2.
Each transmitter may be programmed differently for each
driver’s preferences (lights, doors, horn or activate the
programmed radio stations for driver 1 or driver 2) using
your remote keyless entry transmitter.
After you press the LOCK button on your transmitter
and the ignition key is in ON, the DIC will display
the identied driver number. The vehicle will also recall
the vehicle customization features that were last
programmed to correspond to your transmitter.
If you unlock your vehicle using your key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers
and your vehicle will recall the information from the last
transmitter used.
If your vehicle does not have a DIC, you do not have
available the vehicle customization features using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.

attached to the center pillar (B-pillar) of your vehicle.
With the driver’s door open, you will nd the label
attached below the door lock post (striker). The tire and
loading information label shows the number of
occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the
size of the original equipment tires (C) and the
recommended cold tire ination pressures (D). For more
information on tires and ination seeTires on page 5-55
andInation - Tire Pressure on page 5-61.

Filling Your Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to
you and others, read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. Turn off your
engine when you are refueling. Do not smoke
if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, ames and smoking materials
away from fuel. Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle — this
is against the law in some places. Keep
children away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.
The tethered fuel cap is located behind a hinged fuel
door on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the
cap is released too soon, it will spring back to the right.While refueling, hang the
tethered fuel cap from the
hook on the fuel door.
{CAUTION:
If you spill fuel and then something ignites it,
you could be badly burned. Fuel can spray out
on you if you open the fuel cap too quickly.
This spray can happen if your tank is nearly
full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel cap slowly and wait for any hiss noise
to stop. Then unscrew the cap all the way.
