LOW VOLTAGE
This message displays when the electrical system
is charging less than 10 volts or if the battery
has been drained. If this message displays
immediately after starting, it is possible that the
generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge while driving, but may
take a few hours to do so. Consider using
an auxiliary charger to boost the battery after
returning home or to a nal destination. Make sure
you follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If this
message displays while driving or after starting
your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately by your dealer to determine the cause
of this problem. To help the generator recharge
the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the
electrical system by turning off the accessories.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts.

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

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.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that
allow you to program certain features to a
preferred setting for up to two drivers. The back of
the keyless access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2.
The current driver’s preferences are recalled
when one of the following occurs:
