You can select the displayed
language and also customize some
vehicle control settings to your liking
with the multi-information display
and the three buttons on the steering
wheel (see page ).When you unlock and open the
driver’s door, the display shows
‘‘DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘DRIVER 2’’
depending on which remote
transmitter/keyless access remoteyou use, and the driver’s seat and the
outside mirrors move to the position
stored in that remote transmitter/
keyless access remote (see ).
The driver’s ID (1 or 2) is displayed
when the power mode is set to ON.
The multi-inf ormation display in the
instrument panel displays various
inf ormation and messages when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position. Some of the messages help
you operate your vehicle more
comf ortably. Others help to keep
you aware of the periodic
maintenance your vehicle needs f or
continued trouble-f ree driving.
There are three types of messages:
normal display messages, engine oil
lif e and maintenance messages, and
system messages.
