Replacing the Battery
Note:Refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note:Replacing the battery will not delete the remote control from your
vehicle. The remote control should operate normally after battery
replacement.
The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium
battery CR2032 or equivalent.
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin between the
two halves of the remote entry
transmitter near the key ring.
Note:Do not take the rubber cover
and circuit board off the front
housing of the remote entry
transmitter.
2. Do not wipe off any grease on
the battery terminals on the back
surface of the circuit board.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram inside the remote entry
transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery. Press the battery
down to ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery housing
cavity.
5. Snap the two halves back together.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:The daytime running lamps system does not activate
the tail lamps and may not provide adequate lighting during
low visibility driving conditions. Always remember to turn on your
headlamps at dusk and in all low visibility conditions, such as daytime
fog. Failure to activate your headlamps under these conditions may
result in a collision.
When you switch the ignition to the on position and the lighting control
is in the off or parking lamp position, the daytime running lamps will
turn on whenever the headlamps are off. They turn off only when the
headlamps are on.

•TRIP A or B: Registers the distance of individual journeys.
•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 turn the ignition off when refueling
to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel. Distance to
empty is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is
based on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value
is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running
average fuel economy is re-initialized 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.
Instantaneous fuel economy cannot be reset.
