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 system 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:

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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
i
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.

lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see
the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs
to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse
(see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
Pull the turn signal lever
all the way toward
you and
then release it
to change the
headlamps from low beam

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Mirrors Mirror Operation
Electrochrornic 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.
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press
AUTO. To turn off automatic dimming, press OFF.
The green indicator light will be illuminated when
this feature is active.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing
of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery
in
the hand-held transmitter is not dead. If you still
cannot program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter
end over end and try again. The universal transmitter
may not work with older garage door openers that
do
not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot program the transmitter after repeated
attempts, consult your dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming from one of these
transmitters, you should press and re-press the button
on
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button
on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons when the amber light on the
universal transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The amber light comes on while the signal
is being transmitted.
Note that the universal transmitter is disabled when
the valet button inside the glove box is activated. For
more information, see “Valet Lockout Button” earlier
in this section.
Also note that
if the hand-held transmitter appears to
program the universal transmitter but does not open
your garage door, and
if the garage door opener was
manufactured after
1995, the garage door opener may
have a “rolling code” system.
A rolling code system
changes the code of the garage door opener every time
you open or close the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the universal transmitter that you have programmed
already.
If the amber light on the universal transmitter
flashes rapidly for one or two seconds and then stops
flashing, the garage door opener has
a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door
receiver must
be trained to the universal transmitter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY NOT CHARGING - 7: This message will
appear
if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You
can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on
HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the Driver Information Center
(DIC)
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine
is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge and may take a few hours to do
so. Consider using an auxiliary charger to boost the
battery after returning home or to a final destination.
(Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when using a battery charger.)
If this message appears and stays on while driving or
after starting your vehicle, have it checked immediately
to determine the cause of this problem. To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce
the load
on the electrical system by turning off the
accessories. You can monitor battery voltage
on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the
INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM -108: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use
of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the
life of the engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within
200 miles (322 km). See “Engine Oil”
and “Filter Recommendations” in the Maintenance
Schedule booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life
Indicator must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the
Index
on how to reset it.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for
the proper fluid
and change intervals.
