Battery Run-Down Protection

The vehicle has a feature to help prevent the battery
from draining in case the interior, trunk, or underhood
lamps are accidentally left on. If any of these lamps are
left on while the ignition is in OFF, they will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes. The lamps will not come
back on again until any of the following are done:

The ignition is turned to RUN or ACC.

The interior lamps control is turned completely to
the right, then back slightly to the left.

Open, or close and reopen, a door that is closed.

If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on
the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps
after only three minutes.

Head-Up Display (HUD)

{

CAUTION:

If the HUD image is too bright or too high in
your field 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 field of view.

If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), some
information concerning the operation of the vehicle
is projected onto the windshield. This includes
the speedometer reading, transaxle positions, compass
direction, outside air temperature, the tap shift gear
and the upshift symbol if active, and a brief display of
the current radio station, including XM information or
CD track. It will also display turn-by-turn navigation
information if the vehicle is equipped with a navigation
radio. The images are projected by the HUD lens
located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.

The tap shift gear and the upshift symbol will also
appear on the HUD if tap shift is active.
