GAUGES
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or after
refueling. The ignition should be in
the OFF position while the vehicle is
being refueled. When the gauge first
indicates empty, there is a small
amount of reserve fuel in the tank.
When refueling the vehicle from an empty indication, the amount of fuel
that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.

Basic operation of Memory Profile System
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individual's seat
and mirror position preferences, the Memory Profile must first recognize
who will be driving the vehicle. Drivers may identify themselves to the
system one of two ways:
²Pressing the unlock control on
the appropriate remote
transmitter (Memory position 1 or
Memory position 2 is identified by
the number on the back of the
remote transmitter) before
opening the driver's door.
²Entering either the Personality 1
or Personality 2 personalized
code into the keyless entry
keypad before opening the
driver's door.
For information on programming
personalized codes seeRemote and
Keyless entry systemsin theControl and featuressection.
Once the system has identified the driver (Memory position 1 or Memory
position 2), the seat and mirror will automatically begin to move to that
driver profile. Changes made to the seat and mirror positions will
automatically be saved to that profile.
If the driver should enter the vehicle without first identifying themselves,
all features will remain at their last setting or position and any settings
will be saved to the vehicle not individualized settings.

If Memory position 1 or Memory
position 2 wishes to make
temporary changes to their seat or
outside mirror positions without
affecting their preferred positions
they may do so by:
²Using the switch on the back of
the remote transmitter to turn
the Memory Profile System OFF
prior to pressing the unlock
control on the remote transmitter
or unlocking the vehicle with the
key.
²Entering the vehicle without
identifying themselves using the two methods listed above.
²Turning the DRIVER ID (if equipped in the message center) OFF to
allow for temporary setting changes.
This option may be useful to temporarily reposition the driver's seat and
mirrors during an extended drive.

System warnings
System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your
vehicle's operating systems.
The message center will display the
last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages. This allows
you to use the full functionality of
the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the
RESET control and clearing the warning message.
Warning messages that have been reset are divided into two categories:
²They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
²They will not reappear until an ignition OFF-ON cycle has been
completed. This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still
exist within the vehicle.
