Battery Run-Down Protection
The vehicle has a feature to help prevent the battery
from being drained, in case the underhood lamp, vanity
mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps, console,
or glove box lamps are accidentally left on, or something
is left plugged into the accessory power outlet or
cigarette lighter. If any of the accessory lamps are
left on, they will automatically time-out after about
10 minutes. To reset the battery protection, all of the
above lamps must be turned off or the ignition must be
in the ACC/ACCESSORY position.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your
eld of view, it may take you more time to see
things you need to see when it is dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your eld of view.The Head-Up Display (HUD) allows you to see some of
the driver information that appears on the instrument
panel cluster.
The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward
the front of the vehicle. To change from English to metric
units, seeDriver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-57.

NO FOB DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle does not detect the
presence of a keyless access transmitter when you
have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door has
just closed. The following conditions may cause this
message to appear:
Driver-added equipment plugged into the accessory
power outlet on the center console is causing
interference. Examples of these devices are cell
phones and cell phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters, or similar items. Try moving
the keyless access transmitter away from these
devices when starting the vehicle. In addition,
PDA devices and remote garage and gate openers
may also generate Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access
transmitter. Do not carry the keyless access
transmitter in the same pocket or bag as these
devices.
The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas
stations, have EMI elds which may interfere with
the keyless access transmitter.If moving the transmitter to different locations
within the vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the right and then press
the START button.
The vehicle’s battery voltage is low. The battery
voltage must be above 10 volts for the keyless
access transmitter to be detected properly.
