Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the
security method used by this remote keyless entry
system. The transmitter does not send the same signal
twice to the receiver. The receiver will not respond to
a signal it has previously been sent; this prevents
someone from recording and playing back the signal
from the transmitter.
To resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver, do
the following: While standing close to your vehicle,
simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons on the transmitter for about five seconds. The
door locks should cycle (lock and unlock) to confirm
synchronization. If the locks
do not cycle, see your
dealer for service.
Trunk
-
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.

Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lamps by
moving the dial
(A). If you turn the dial all the way up,
your courtesy or interior lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make
it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by moving the dial near the headlamp knob all
the way up.
Some of the lamps have switches
so you can turn them
on, even when the doors are closed. These lamps are
reading lamps.
To avoid draining your battery, be sure to
turn off all reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.
Sustained Interior Illumination
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you:
0 Open a door.
0 Press LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped).
Press the trunk symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
If you open
a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s
open and then turn
off automatically about 18 seconds
after you close
it. If you don’t open a door, the lamps
will turn off after about
18 seconds, unless you press
UNLOCK or TRUNK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you press UNLOCK or TRUNK and
don’t open a door, the lamps will turn off after about
55 seconds. If you press LOCK on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the lamps will turn
off about
17 seconds after all doors are closed.
Sustained interior illumination includes a feature called
theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don’t
just turn off
at the end of the delay time. Instead, they
slowly dim during the delay time until they go out. The
delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to
RUN or START,
so the lamps will go out right away.
When the ignition is on, sustained interior illumination
is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won’t
come on.
Press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
