The multi-inf ormation display in the
instrument panel displays various
inf ormation and messages when the

periodic maintenance your vehicle
needs f or continued trouble-f ree
driving.
You can also customize some vehicle
control settings to your liking with
the multi-inf ormation display and the
two buttons on the steering wheel
(see page ).When you unlock and open the
driver’s door with the remote
transmitter, the display shows
‘‘Welcome DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘Welcome
DRIVER 2’’ depending on which
remote transmitter you use. The
driver’s ‘‘ID’’ is detected by the
transmitter. For more information
about driver’s ‘‘ID’’, see page .If you use the key to unlock the
driver’s door, the display only shows
‘‘Welcome.’’ This means the system
