Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you may have
about the vehicle.
Q: How  do I set the vehicle clock? 
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 50. For vehicles with navigation, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why  doesn’t the vehicle start  when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button? 
A: The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q:  What is  the AUTO setting  on my headlight lever? 
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q:  Why  won’t  the driver’s  door unlock  when I grab the door handle,  even though  the

A: If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q:  After my battery  was disconnected  or went  dead,  the  audio system is  asking for a    
code.  Where  do I find  this? 
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the audio
system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
