The MEMORY buttons are located on the driver's door,
above the power mirror controls. The MEMORY
buttons can store and recall settings for up to three
drivers. Use button ª1º to store the settings for the
first driver, button ª2º for a second driver or press
buttons 1 and 2 at the same time for a third driver.
To store your memory settings:
1. Adjust your settings for the driver's seat position,
outside rearview mirror positions, and telescopic
steering wheel (if equipped).
2. Press and hold a MEMORY button. The light above
the MEMORY button will glow steady for one

the light above the button will flash until the correct
settings are achieved, then glow for five seconds
when complete.
A memory recall can be stopped by pressing any
memory seat, mirror or steering column position button.
When your remote keyless entry transmitter has been
programmed to driver 1, 2 or 3, and you insert the key into
the ignition, memory will also occur. Drivers 1, 2 and
3 correspond to the order in which your remote keyless
entry transmitters were programmed. See ªFob Trainingº
in the Index for more information.
Memory recall will not work if the vehicle is moving.
Memory recall will be temporarily interrupted during
engine crank.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three 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 body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

2-13 Replacing the Battery in the Remote
Keyless Entry Transmitter
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the back of the
transmitter and gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+)
side up. Use a battery, type CR2032, or equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it
together so water won't get in.
5. Test the transmitter.
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RKE system uses a continually changing code for
increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what's wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low. If so, see ªBattery
Replacementº in the Index.
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
lock and unlock buttons on your transmitter at the
same time and hold for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize the security code in your
RKE transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle. See ªMatching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicleº in the Index.

button allows you to scroll through a menu. A blank
page ends each menu.
If a problem is detected, a diagnostic message will appear
on the display. Press RESET to acknowledge any current
warning or service messages. The following pages will
show the messages you can see on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display by pressing the DIC buttons.
1 FUEL
The FUEL button displays average fuel economy and
instantaneous fuel economy calculated for your specific
driving conditions and range.Press the FUEL button to display average fuel economy,
such as:

AVERAGE 20.1 MPG or

AVERAGE 5.3 L/100 km
The average fuel economy is viewed as a long
-term
approximation of your overall driving conditions. If you
press RESET in this mode while you're driving, the
system will begin figuring fuel economy from that
point in time.

Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself after
each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful
not to reset the OIL LIFE accidentally at any time other
than when the oil has just been changed. It can't be reset
accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the system, see ªHow to Reset the Change Oil
Soon Messageº in the Index.
Also, see ªEngine Oil, When to Changeº and
ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index.
4 OPTIONS
This button allows you to choose personal options that
may be available on your vehicle, depending on the
options your vehicle is equipped with. Some of these
functions work along with the remote keyless
entry transmitter.

DEFOG: This setting divides the air between the
windshield and lower outlets with a small amount of air
directed toward the side window vents. This is useful
when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to
rain or snowy conditions.
DEFROST: Use this setting to quickly remove fog
or frost from the windshield. This setting directs most of
the airflow to the windshield with a small amount of air
directed toward the lower and side window outlets.
Mode Buttons
These buttons control the air intake, the air conditioning
and the rear window defogger operation.
OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button and it
will bring outside air into the vehicle. The light on the
button will come on when operating. Use this setting
while trying to defrost or defog windows to help
clear moisture.
RECIRCULATE: Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering the vehicle by
recirculating most of the air inside the vehicle. The light
on the button will come on when operating. This setting
is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
to limit odors entering the vehicle. Recirculate cannot be
used while in the DEFROST or DEFOG modes.Operating the system in the recirculation mode may
cause fogging of the vehicle's windows when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the
system to either the DEFOG or DEFROST mode and
increase the fan speed. To avoid re
-fogging of the
windows, operate the system in the OUTSIDE
AIR mode.
A/C: This button turns the air conditioning
compressor off or on under most conditions. The light
on the A/C button comes on when the compressor is
operating. The air conditioning does not operate at
temperatures below approximately 35
F to 40
F
(2
C to 4
C). The air conditioning cools and
dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle. The air
conditioning cannot be turned off in DEFROST, as it
helps to remove moisture from the vehicle. It also helps
to keep the windows clear.
The air conditioning may be forced off at high engine
speeds or high engine oil or coolant temperatures.
See ªRear Window Defoggerº later in this section for
more information.
