Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diag\
nostic system.
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes \
off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks fi ve times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness cod\
es are set,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°\
C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Incre\
ase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the \
highway
with the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When traffi c
allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed
may vary slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous \
90 seconds
because of traffi c conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more
times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffi c for at least 10 minutes. When traffi c conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerato\
r
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set\
again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, y\
ou may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your de\
aler. SPECIFICATIONS

Frequently Asked Questions/ Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you may
have about the vehicle.
Q: How do I set the vehicle clock?
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 44. For vehicles with navigation, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?*
A: The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q: What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q: Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though
the keyless access remote is within range?*

door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confi rm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q: After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is asking for
a code. Where do I nd this?
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the
audio system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
Q: Why can’t I operate Pandora® through the audio system?*
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter
cable (if using). Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features?
A: Visit handsfreelink.com (U.S.) or www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
check phone compatibility for Bluetooth® Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®,
