It is located on the instrument cluster and can be set to display in English or Metric. Some models always display the compass reading and outside temperature. If the temperature is below 38˚F (3˚C), it will toggle between displaying the temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. You can personalize features like headlamp exit delay, interior lighting, delayed locking, remote door unlock, and lock/unlock feedback. When done, the message DONE appears on the display.

6. Automatic Headlamp System / Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) / Fog Lamps / Headlamp Control - The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) safety feature ensures that the headlamps are illuminated at a lower intensity during the day, making the vehicle more visible to others. The exterior lamps knob is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. The Fog Lamps button is situated in the center of the exterior lamps switch. To activate the fog lamps, simply press the FOG PUSH button. It's important to note that the fog lamps will automatically turn off when you activate the headlamp high beams, and they will come back on when the low beams are turned back on. If the head lamp rotary knob is in the AUTO position during daytime driving, it may temporarily switch the headlamp and interior light systems, including the radio display, to nighttime mode when passing through darker conditions. The automatic headlamps will come on immediately when you start the vehicle at night. It's important to refer to Section 2 of your Driver's Manual for more information on how to use the DRL feature in your vehicle and how to turn off the fog lamp button when it is not in use. Additionally, the DRL does not activate if the parking brake is engaged prior to turning the ignition key on, and DRL operation resumes when the parking brake is released.

The Owner Manual provides details on how the parking light and fog lamp are controlled in the car, as well as how the car is heated and ventilated.

The heated seat feature provides a single level of heat and must be turned off manually. The seats are heated to a certain temperature and can only be used when the driver is in the driver seat and the passenger seats are in the passenger seat. The heating feature can be turned on or off by the driver at the top of the switch to turn the heater on and the bottom of the switch to turn it off.
10. Opening the Vehicle Hood / Outside Rearview Mirrors - The care instructions for the Preferred Suede upholstery are similar to fine upholstery, including regular vacuuming and immediate blotting of spills. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, avoiding dry cleaning agents or solvents. The personalized mirror positions are programmed into memory at the same time as the memory seats. When the rear window defogger is turned on, it also warms the outside mirrors to clear mist, ice, and snow.

12. Universal Home Remote - The Universal Home Remote is a combined universal transmitter and receiver. It is important to read the instructions in your Owner Manual before programming any of the three channels on the remote. Make sure the engine is turned off when programming the remote. Do not use the remote with any garage door opener that does not have the "stop and reverse" feature. The DVD player's operating temperature range is between minus-four degrees F (-4˚F) and 140 degrees F. It has a built-in video screen and can play DVDs in temperature extremes.
