Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your keyless
access transmitter should last about three years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it is probably time to change the
battery. The DIC may display KEY FOB
BATTERY LOW.
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOBS DETECTED when you try to start
the vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter
in the center console storage area transmitter
pocket with the buttons facing to the front of the
vehicle. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the
start button. SeeStarting the Engine on page 113,
for additional information about your vehicle’s
electronic keyless ignition with push button start.
Although this will start the vehicle, it is
recommended that you replace the transmitter
battery as soon as possible.Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.

If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather (below 0°F
or−18°C), it could be ooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all
the way to the oor while cranking for up to
15 seconds maximum. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the accelerator. If the vehicle
starts briey but then stops again, do the same
thing. This clears the extra gasoline from
the engine.
Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods
of time, by pressing the START button
immediately after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking motor, and
drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in starting the
engine and protects components. Once cranking
has been initiated, the engine continues cranking
for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts.If the engine does not start, cranking automatically
stops after 15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this
system also prevents cranking if the engine
is already running.
Notice:Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you add
electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your
dealer. If you do not, your engine might not
perform properly. Any resulting damage would
not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
Stopping Your Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the Acc.
button located on the instrument panel. If the shifter
is not in PARK (P), the engine shuts off and the
vehicle goes into the Accessory Mode. The DIC
displays “SHIFT TO PARK”. Once the shifter is
moved to PARK (P), the vehicle turns off.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected
inside the vehicle when it is turned to off, the DIC
displays NO FOB OFF OR RUN?.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 264for
more information.

garage doors produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded
signal is changed every time your remote control

Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the
lane change is complete. The lever returns to its
original position when it is released.
Rapid ashing of arrows when signaling for a turn
or lane change may be caused by a burned-out
signal bulb. Other driver’s will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 487for
more information.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for about 1 mile (1.6 km),
a warning chime will sound and the TURN
SIGNAL ON message will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal
On” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 264for more information.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push forward on the turn signal/multifunction
lever to change the headlamps from low to high
beam. Pull the lever back and then release it
to change from high to low beam.
If you turn the vehicle off with the high beams on,
the next time you start your vehicle the low
beams will be on.
To re-activate high beams, pull lever toward you
and then push it forward again.
This light on the
instrument panel cluster
will be on, indicating

Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When the system detects a slower moving vehicle,
it will adjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain
the follow distance (gap) you select.
Use the GAP button on
the steering wheel to
adjust the follow
distance.
Press the top of the button to increase the
distance or the bottom of the button to decrease
the distance. The rst button press will show
you the current follow distance setting on the HUD.
Your current follow distance setting will be
maintained until you change it.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(one second to two seconds follow time). Thedistance maintained for a selected follow distance
will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed the further back you will follow.
Consider traffic and weather conditions when
selecting the follow distance. The range of
selectable distances may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to
travel at a follow distance farther than Adaptive
Cruise Control allows, disengage the system
and drive manually.
A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected
follow distance. This picture shows a maximum
follow distance. The vehicles will move closer
together as you select a smaller follow distance.
