Reprogramming the Remote
Control
You must have all remote controls readily
accessible before beginning this
procedure. Any remote control that is not
present during the programming procedure
will no longer operate your vehicle.
Note:
You can program a maximum of four
coded keys to your vehicle.
Note: Do not apply the brake pedal during
this procedure.
1. Switch the ignition from off to on 8 times within 10 seconds, finishing in the
on position. The doors lock then unlock
to confirm that programming has
started.
2. Press any button on the remote control
that you want to program within 20
seconds. The doors lock then unlock
to confirm that programming was
successful.
3. Repeat step 2 to program each additional remote control.
4. After you have programmed all remote
controls, switch the ignition off.
5. The doors lock then unlock to confirm that programming is complete.
Changing the Remote Control
Battery
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent. Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries. 1. Twist a thin coin in the slot of the
transmitter near the key ring to remove
the battery cover.
Note: Do not remove the rubber cover and
circuit board from the front housing of the
remote entry transmitter.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
2. Remove the old battery.

symbols inside the transmitter for the
correct orientation of the battery.
Press the battery down to make sure
it is fully in the housing.
4. Reinstall the battery housing cover onto the transmitter.
Note: Replacing the battery does not erase
the programmed key from your vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
Car Finder Press the button twice within
three seconds. The horn sounds
and the direction indicators
flash. We recommend you use this method
to locate your vehicle, rather than using
the panic alarm.

again or switch the ignition on to
turn it off. Note:
The panic alarm operates regardless
of the ignition position.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR

Authorized dealers can program remote
controls for your vehicle. See Passive
Anti-Theft System (page 43).

past detent, to switch on the interior lamps. Rotate up or down to adjust the intensity
of the panel lighting. DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (If
Equipped) WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the rear lamps and
may not provide adequate lighting
during low visibility driving conditions.
Make sure you switch the headlamps on,
as appropriate, during all low visibility

crash. The system turns the lamps on in daylight
conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
lighting control to the off, autolamp or
parking lamp position.

G Fuel Gauge
Note:
The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge
indicates approximately how much fuel
you have left in the fuel tank. The arrow
adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.

Page 55 of 323

•
It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of the pavement at the gas
station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of the
pavement at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
• There is a small reserve left in the tank
when the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km),
10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km).
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool. WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or
hot.
Battery Voltage Gauge
Indicates the battery voltage when the
ignition is in the on position. If the pointer
moves and stays outside the normal
operating range, have an authorized dealer
check the vehicle
’s electrical system as
soon as possible. Information Display

Indicates the engine oil pressure. The
needle should stay in the normal operating
range. If the needle falls below the normal
range, stop the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Check the engine oil level and add
oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have
an authorized dealer check the system.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.

Brake System Warning Lamp WARNING
Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance
may occur. It may take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged
can cause brake failure and the risk of
personal injury. It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and the
ignition is on.
If it illuminates when your vehicle is
moving, make sure the parking brake is
disengaged. If the parking brake is
disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Check Fuel Cap Displays when you do not
properly install the fuel cap.
Continued driving with this light
on may cause the service engine soon
warning light to come on.

Miles (km) to E
This displays an estimate of approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under normal driving
conditions. Remember to switch the
ignition off when refueling to allow this
feature to detect the added fuel correctly.
Based on your recent driving history of 500
miles (800 km), the system calculates the
distance to empty using a running average
fuel economy. This value is not the same
as the average fuel economy display. The
running average fuel economy re-initializes
to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
XX.X AVG MPG (L/100km)
Average fuel economy displays your
average fuel economy in miles/gallon or
liters/100 km. MPG (L/km)
This displays instantaneous fuel economy
as a bar graph. Your vehicle must be
moving to calculate instantaneous fuel
economy. You cannot reset instantaneous
fuel economy.
