Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the
ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know
they are there. As an example, many concrete roads
have metal reinforcements inside.
Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Driver Identifier DIC Display
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own preferred display mode. The
personalization settings displayed on the DIC are
determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle.
After the unlock button of a remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed and the ignition is in RUN, the
DIC will display the identified driver. The settings can
also be changed by briefly pressing one of the
MEMORY buttons located on the driver's door.
The DIC is used to program information for
DRIVER #1 and DRIVER #2. The DIC will identify
a person as UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither
DRIVER #1 nor DRIVER #2.
DIC Personalization Programming
The DIC can be used to program the following
personalization features available with your vehicle:
Automatic Door Locks
Window Lockout
Security Feedback
Delayed Locking
Perimeter Lighting
Memory Seats
Parallel Park Assist Mirror (Tilt Mirror)
Driver ID
The DIC is used to program the personal choices of
two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER #1
and DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which
driver you are by using your remote keyless entry
transmitter or by pressing the appropriate memory seat
control button located on the driver's door or choosing
the driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to
DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter
may be programmed differently for each driver.

When you press the button with the unlock symbol on
your transmitter, the DIC will automatically change
driver numbers and the vehicle will recall the
personalization settings that were last made to
correspond to your transmitter, including your radio and
comfort control settings. See ªComfort Controls
Personalizationº in the Index.
If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter use
or the last driver change using the memory seat controls.
If this happens and you were not the last driver of the
vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on the
memory seat controls or press the button with the
unlock symbol on your transmitter or select the
personalization programming mode and choose the
correct driver number.Use the following steps for personalization
programming instructions.

programming mode.
4. The first choice to be made will be DRIVER ID 1 or
2. Press the RESET button to toggle between your
selections within a display and SELECT to choose
the current selection and move on to the next
personalization feature.
You are now in the selection mode and the DIC is ready
to program your personal choices in memory.

the display. Once you have made a selection for a
feature, the DIC will move on to the next
personalization feature.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has a
flow
-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. For more information, see
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings for temperature,
air delivery mode and fan speed. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
and the ignition is in RUN, the climate control will
adjust to the last settings of the identified driver. The
settings can also be changed by pressing one of the
memory buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door,
until you hear two beeps. When adjustments are made,
the new settings are automatically saved for that driver.
Standard Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The left knob regulates the force of the air coming
through the system. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed and counterclockwise to decrease the fan
speed. Push the knob to turn the fan off. The fan must
be on to run the air conditioning compressor.
Temperature Knob
The right knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area
for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.

While refueling, hang the tethered cap on the hook on
the inside of the fuel door.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let
go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any ªhissº noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See ªCleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicleº in the Index.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure
you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can
determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See ªMalfunction Indicator Lampº in
the Index.
6-7
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light
and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See ªMalfunction Indicator Lampº in
the Index.
Fuel Door Lock (Option)
On models equipped with the theft-deterrent system,
the fuel door is locked and unlocked together with the
driver's power door lock. Therefore, to unlock the fuel
filler door, you may use the inside power door lock
button or the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped). To unlock the fuel door, unlock the
driver's door.
If your vehicle has a fuel
door lock, the fuel door
can be opened manually
in case of an electrical
power failure.
Open the trunk. The release mechanism is on the
driver's side of the vehicle, at the top of the trunk
compartment. Pull the tab to release the fuel door.
NOTICE:
Prying on a locked fuel filler door can damage it.
Use the remote fuel door manual release located
in the trunk.
