Under norlnal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about two years.
You can
tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the batteries.
Your transmitter housing snaps apart for ease
in battery replacement. To
open the housing:
1. Insert a dime between two halves of the transmitter housing near the
key ring
hole.
2. Remove the bottom by twisting the dime.
3. Remove and replace the batteries with two Duracell @-type batteries
(DL2016 or equivalent), positive side down.
4. Align and snap together the back and top transmitter housings.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has
a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in fhe lgnition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime
reminding
you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transmission. And remember to lock the doors.

If your vehicle was
first sold, when new,
in Canada,
you will
have this light on the
instrument panel.
It goes on whenever the Daytime Running Lamps are on.
When it begins to get dark, the DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn on
your headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful
in many different driving
conditions, but
they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on at a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be
on. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is
a reminder to turn
your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your
headlamps will also come
on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps will go off, and
your high-beam headlamps
will change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when
you need it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing the bottom of the switch.
The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes
so that the glass does not
get too hot. If the window still isn’t clear, turn the defogger on again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the defogger. Your warranty would not cover this damage. And
don’t put decals there, you might have to scrape them
off.
Ventilation System
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to the inside of your
vehicle when it is moving. With the side windows closed, air will flow into
the front air inlet grilles at the base of
the windshield, through the vehicle
and out the rear air exhaust valves. Outside air will also enter the vehicle
when the heater or the air conditioning fan is running.
Venfilation Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other
obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan to HIGH for a
few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the change
of fogging the inside of your windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
