instrument panel displays various
inf ormation and messages when the

system messages.

control settings to your liking with
the multi-inf ormation display and the
two buttons on the steering wheel

When you unlock and open the
driver’s door with the remote
transmitter, the display shows
‘‘Welcome Driver 1’’ or ‘‘Welcome

remote transmitter you use. The
driver’s ‘‘ID’’ is detected by the
