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) up
to 30 feet (9 m) away using
the RKE transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry (RKE) system is intended to
be used as an added vehicle entry device. It is not
intended to replace a door 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 from about 10 feet (3 m) up
to 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.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
Turn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it's released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON (after driving about a mile) to
remind you to turn it off.Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
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 ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and check for burned
-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
When the low-beam headlamps are on, push the turn
signal lever away from you to change the headlamps to
high beam.
This light on the instrument
panel will be on, indicating
high
-beam usage.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to return to
low
-beam headlamps.

yellowblue
2-37 Flash-To-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to
signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you briefly to
flash
-to-pass. When you do:

If the headlamps are either off or in the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the high
-beam
headlamps will turn on. They'll stay on as long as
you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn
them off.

If the headlamps are on low beam, they will remain
active and the high beam will also illuminate until
you release the lever.
Windshield Wipers
You can control the windshield wipers by moving the
lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever is located
on the right side of your steering column. For
information on wiper
-activated headlamp operation,
refer to ªWiper
-Activated Headlampsº in the Index.
LO or HI: Move the lever up to LO for steady wiping
at a slow speed. Move the lever higher to HI for steady
wiping at a high speed.

To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off
the Twilight Sentinel and manually turn on the
parking lamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (STS Only)
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. When you push the fog lamp button located
next to the exterior lamps control, a small indicator light
and the LIGHTS ON and fog lamp telltales on the
instrument panel cluster will tell you that the fog lamps
and the parking lamps are on. Pushing the fog lamp
button again will turn them off.
If you turn on the high
-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
change to low
-beam headlamps. You can use the fog
lamp button to turn the fog lamps on or off when the
parking lamps or headlamps are on.When the Twilight Sentinel

is on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking lamps
will remain on.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel

This control is located
below the exterior lamps
control knob. It
automatically turns the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark it is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel, leave the exterior
lamps control knob off and move the TWILIGHT lever
to any position but OFF.

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 automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case, 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 indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Universal Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the Universal
Transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
The Universal Transmitter is disabled when the valet
lock switch inside the glove box is activated. For more
information, see ªValet Lockº in the Index.
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 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº 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 indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door motor
head unit must be trained to the Universal Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the Universal Transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Universal Transmitterº listed
previously. If you have completed this programming
already, you now need to train the garage door opener
motor head unit to recognize the Universal Transmitter.
Refer to your garage door opener owner's manual for
the proper transmitter training procedure for your garage
door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you
have difficulty finding the training button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual.
