NO FOB DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle does not
detect the presence of a keyless access
transmitter when you have attempted to start the
vehicle or a vehicle door has just closed. The
following conditions may cause this message to
appear:
Driver-added equipment plugged into the
accessory power outlet on the center console
is causing interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell phone
chargers, two-way radios, power inverters, or
similar items. Try moving the keyless
access transmitter away from these devices
when starting the vehicle. In addition,
PDA devices and remote garage and gate
openers may also generate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) that may interfere with
the keyless access transmitter. Do not carry
the keyless access transmitter in the same
pocket or bag as these devices.
The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some
gas stations, have EMI elds which may
interfere with your keyless access transmitter.If moving the transmitter to different locations
within the vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the right and then
press the START button.
The vehicle’s battery voltage is low. The
battery voltage must be above 10 volts for the
keyless access transmitter to be detected
properly.

Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may
have to change the selected region to represent
the area you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination
when traveling across regions.
The following method is suggested and provides
the most route guidance and map display
functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when
you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps
on page 271.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. See
Enter Destination on page 259for more
information.
If you do not want to use the rst method, keep
your currently selected search area region
and enter your destination. This method allows
you only to select a destination from the easy
planning route method or from the All Points of
Interest (POI) categories with the “All Search
Areas” comment for US Only. For example, Touristis a category that features this comment. See
Enter Destination on page 259for more
information.
If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross
the regional border, the only map scale views
available are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km,
16 km, 64 km and 256 km). Change the selected
search area region when you get closer to the area
you are traveling to. See “Setting the Search
Area” underMaps on page 271for more
information.
Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2
will display on the screen. A message will not
appear on the screen if the driver is unknown. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or driver 2. The navigation system
can store memory points for drivers 1 and
2 individually. SeeKeyless Access System on
page 67for more information.
280

Battery
Your vehicle has a maintenance free battery.
When it is time for a new battery, get one that has
the replacement number shown on the original
battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco
®
replacement battery.
For battery replacement, see your dealer or the
service manual. To purchase a service manual,
seeService and Owner PublicationsinService
Publications Ordering Information on page 497.
Warning:Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative (−) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and
gas that can explode. You can be badly
hurt if you are not careful. SeeJump
Starting on page 403for tips on working
around a battery without getting hurt.
You must close all doors and the trunk before
reconnecting the battery. After reconnecting
the battery, you must press the unlock button on
the keyless access transmitter. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in the alarm
sounding. Pressing unlock on the keyless access
transmitter would stop the alarm.
