The vehicle can be started using the
remote start feature two separate
times between driving sequences.
The engine runs for 10 minutes after
each remote start. Or, the engine
run time can be extended another
10 minutes within the rst 10 minute
remote start time frame, and
before the engine stops.
For example, if
Qand then/are
pressed again after the vehicle
has been running for ve minutes,
10 minutes are added, allowing
the engine to run for 15 minutes.
The additional 10 minutes are
considered a second remote start.The vehicle must be started with the

single remote start with one time
extension has been done.
The vehicle can be started using the
remote start feature again after
the key is removed from the ignition.
The vehicle cannot be started
using the remote start feature if the
key is in the ignition, the hood is
open, or if there is an emission
control system malfunction.
The engine turns off during a remote
start if the coolant temperature
gets too high or if the oil pressure
gets low.Vehicles that have the remote
vehicle start feature are shipped
from the factory with the remote
vehicle start system enabled. The
system may be enabled or disabled
through the DIC if the vehicle has
DIC buttons. See “REMOTE
START” underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-57for

forward could damage the
transmission. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Shift to R (Reverse)
only after the vehicle is stopped.
To rock the vehicle back and
forth to get out of snow, ice or sand
without damaging the transmission,
seeIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in
Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 4-15.N (Neutral):In this position, the
engine does not connect with
the wheels. To restart the engine
when the vehicle is already moving,
use N (Neutral) only. Also, use
N (Neutral) when the vehicle
is being towed.
{CAUTION
Shifting into a drive gear while the
engine is running at high speed is
dangerous. Unless your foot is
rmly on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could move very rapidly.
You could lose control and hit
people or objects. Do not shift into
a drive gear while the engine is
running at high speed.
Notice:Shifting out of P (Park)
or N (Neutral) with the engine
running at high speed may
damage the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Be sure
the engine is not running at high
speed when shifting the vehicle.D (Drive):This position is for
normal driving. It provides the best
fuel economy. If you need more
power for passing, and you are:
Going less than 35 mph
(56 km/h), push the accelerator
pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or
more, push the accelerator all
the way down.
Notice:If your vehicle seems to
accelerate slowly or not shift
gears when you go faster, and you
continue to drive your vehicle that
way, you could damage the
transmission. Have your vehicle
serviced right away. You can drive
in LOW (L) when you are driving
less than 35 mph (56 km/h) and
DRIVE (D) for higher speeds
until then.
L (Low):This position gives you
access to gear ranges. This
provides more engine braking but
lower fuel economy than D (Drive).
You can use it on very steep
hills, or in deep snow or mud.
Features and Controls 2-25

Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the
set/reset button while the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature
called the retro-active reset.
This can be used to set the trip
odometer to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be
used if the trip odometer is not reset
at the beginning of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the set/reset button
for at least four seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number of
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) driven
since the ignition was last turned on
and the vehicle was moving. Once
the vehicle begins moving, the trip
odometer will accumulate mileage.
For example, if the vehicle was
driven 5 miles (8 km) before it is
started again, and then the
retro-active reset feature is activated,
the display will show 5 miles (8 km).As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 5.1 miles
(8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is
activated after the vehicle is started,
but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number
of miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
that were driven during the
last ignition cycle.
RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate
will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in
traffic and making frequentstops, this display may read one
number, but if the vehicle is driven
on a freeway, the number may
change even though the same
amount of fuel is in the fuel tank.
This is because different driving
conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving. Fuel
range cannot be reset.
AVG (Average) ECONOMY
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
ECONOMY displays. This display
shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This
number is calculated based on
the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. To reset
AVG ECONOMY, press and
hold the set/reset button.
Instrument Panel 3-45

TIMER
Press the trip/fuel button until

since the timer was last reset, not
including time the ignition is off.
Time will continue to be counted as
long as the ignition is on, even if
another display is being shown on
the DIC. The timer will record
up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and
59 seconds (99:59:59) after which
the display will return to zero.
To stop the timer, press the set/reset
button briey while TIMER is
displayed.
To reset the timer to zero, press
and hold the set/reset button while
TIMER is displayed.FUEL USED
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL
USED displays. This display
shows the number of gallons (gal)
or liters (L) of fuel used since
the last reset of this menu item. To
reset the fuel used information,
press and hold the set/reset button
while FUEL USED is displayed.
AVG (Average) SPEED
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
SPEED displays. This display
shows the average speed of the
vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or
kilometers per hour (km/h). This
average is calculated based on the
various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value. To
reset the value to zero, press
and hold the set/reset button.
Blank Display
This display shows no information.DIC Compass
Your vehicle may have a compass
in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer/
retailer will set the correct zone for
your location.
Under certain circumstances,
such as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving
to a new state or province, it will be
necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference
between the earth’s magnetic
north and true geographic north. If
the compass is not set to the
zone where you live, the compass
may give false readings. The
compass must be set to the variance
zone in which the vehicle is
traveling.
