If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and
turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
from about
10 feet (3 m)
away using the remote
keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry transmitter operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with RSS-210
of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The range of this system is about
10 feet (3 m). At times
you may notice a decrease
in range. This is normal for
any remote keyless entry transmitter. If the transmitter
does not work or
if you have to stand closer to your
vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
0
0
0
0
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
Check the distance.
You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher,
and try again.
If you’re still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the transmitter.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a coin to pry
open the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil to
remove the old battery.
Do not use a metal object.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s
battery against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp, glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the
garage door opener. When the ignition is turned
off,
the power to these features will automatically turn off
after 10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or
the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle
in a storage mode so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument cluster and remote keyless entry will not
drain the battery over a long period of time. For
programming information, see “Programmable, Memory
and Personalization Features” later in
this section.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror
When this feature is turned on, the mirror automatically
changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you. A
photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark
outside. Another photocell, built into the mirror face,
senses when headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when.the glare is reduced.

When this happens, all Driver Information Center (DIC) warning messages that have been displayed since the
ignition key was turned to RUN will redisplay. If no
messages were displayed,
a MONITORED SYSTEMS
OK message will appear.

display the OIL LIFE LEFT, then press and hold the
INFO RESET button until
100% OIL LIFE LEFT is
displayed. (This only needs to be reset after you have
had the oil changed.)
TRIP RESET By using this button, you can tell how
far you’ve gone since you last set the
TRIP RESET back
to zero. To reset, press and hold the button until zeros
appear. If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer
will return to zero after 999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your
vehicle is Canadian, the trip odometer will return to zero
after
1 999.9 km (1,242 miles).
INFO: Pressing this button repeatedly will display the
RANGE, MPG AVG, MPG INST, GAL FUEL USED,
MPH, AVG MPH, BATTERY VOLTS and OIL
LIFE LEFT.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Storage Mode Personalization
Before you begin programming, make sure that your vehicle’s ignition is
in RUN. To begin programming,
press the INFORMATION (INFO) and RESET (INFO
RESET) buttons at the same time for about two seconds.
The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN
GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after
this prompt is displayed until the STORAGE MODE
prompt appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Press the TRIP (TRIP RESET) button to answer “yes” or press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
“no” response.
FEATURE ON appears when a yes response is made
and FEATURE
OFF shows when a no response is made.
Since this is the last personalization feature available,
a
yes or no response will end out of the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key has been turned off.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the door key is inserted into the door,
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out
of LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled.
Home and Away Feature
To program, hold two radio preset buttons at the same
time until
HOME PRESETS DRVR 1 ( DRVR 2)
appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
At this time, you are able to input your desired radio
stations. Holding the same
two radio preset buttons
again will display AWAY PRESETS DRVR
1 (or
DRVR
2). Radio stations that are out of your normal
operating range can be input at this time.
Climate Control Personalization
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the ignition key
is placed in the ignition,
the climate control settings will automatically adjust to
where they were last set. The settings can also be
changed by briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.
