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 40. 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
keyless access remote is within range?
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.
Q: Why can’t I select an item using the interface dial?*
A: To prevent driver distraction, certain items are limited or inoperable while the
vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to select the items.
Q: Where can I find the vehicle identification number (VIN)?
A: Check the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Q: Why can’t I operate Pandora through the audio system?
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter. Some
phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
