I
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
30 feet (9 m)
away using the
RKE
transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your
RKE system is intended to be used as a
supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to
replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with, a
door lock key.
It 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
30 feet (9 m). At times
you may notice
a decrease in range. This is normal for
any
RKE system. If the transmitter does not work or if
you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the
transmitter
to work, try this:
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. Insert a coin into the notch near the key ring of the
transmitter.
Turn the coin to separate the two halves
of the transmitter.

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.
Mirror Operation
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press AUTO.
To turn off automatic dimming, press OFF. The
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.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror with Compass
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic inside
rearview mirror with
a compass.

in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on,
the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle
is driven.

Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control
is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If
the
controller detects a problem within the system, the DIC
will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
If this message appears, have your vehicle serviced at
your dealership.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
This display gives you the status of many of your
vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display driver
personalization features and warninghtatus messages.
Memory and Personalization Features
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have memory personalization.
Memory settings that have been previously programmed (HVAC settings, radio preset settings, exterior lighting
choices, remote confirmation choices, seat positions,
column positions,
mirror and programmable automatic
door lock choices) can be recalled by pressing the
unlock button on the
RKE transmitter or by placing the
key
in your vehicle’s ignition.
To begin programming, the ignition must be in ON, your
vehicle in PARK
(P), and if your vehicle has memory,
press the appropriate memory button
“1” or “2”, located
on the driver’s door panel, prior to programming. Press
the
INFO button one or more times until the FEATURE
PROGRAMMING prompt appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. Press the

These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings
as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see “Climate Control
Personalization” and “Radio Personalization” in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
when your vehicle is running unless an overriding
Driver Information Center message appears. You can
change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
pressing the ENGMET (EnglisWmetric) button on the
instrument panel. For more information on the Driver
Information Center, see “Driver Information Center
Messages” in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine
is
first stared after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected.
This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.
Control Buttons

1 999.9 km (1,242 miles). The TRIP RESET button only
resets the trip odometer
(A or B) that is being displayed.
Each trip odometer has
to be reset individually.

appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
