Under normal use, the battery in your keyless entry
transmitter should last about two 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.
Use one battery, type CR2032, or a similar type.
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.
To replace the battery in the keyless entry transmitter:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Carefully pry off the cover by inserting a dime
(or similar object) in the slot between the covers
and twist.
Lift
off the back cover.
Remove and replace the battery. Use one battery,
type CR2032, or a similar type. Put the new battery
in printed side down.
Replace the front cover. Make sure the cover is on
tightly
so water won’t get in.
Check the transmitter operation. If the transmitter
does not work after battery replacement, it may need
to be resynchronized or matched to your vehicle. See
“Synchronization” in the Index.

stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in
START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the same thing, but
this time keep the pedal down for five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
After waiting about
15 seconds, repeat the normal
starting procedure.
I NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in your vehicle.
If you add electrical
parts
or accessories, you could change the way
the engine operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t,
your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see
the part
of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater
(Canada
Only)
In very cold weather, 0°F (- 18 O C) or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and
better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually,
the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.

flash but just stay on
as you signal a turn or lane change,
a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the arrows don’t go on at all when you

You can control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The

The air conditioning system uses the same controls as
the heating system, except that the
air control knob has
two extra settings, described below.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or quick cool-down
on
very hot days. This setting recirculates most of the air
inside your vehicle. If it is used for long periods of time,
the air may become
dry. This setting directs air through
the upper air vents.
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days. This
setting cools outside air and directs it through the
upper air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates in
MAX, NC,
BI-LEVEL, BLEND and DEFROST when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle’s engine speed and power. This is normal,
because the compressor uses power and the system
is
designed to cycle the compressor on and off to keep the
desired cooling and help fuel economy.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep your
windows closed. On very hot days, open the windows
just long enough for the hot
air to escape.
1. Turn the air control knob to A/C for normal cooling.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a
