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. 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.To replace the battery do the following:
1. Insert a ¯at object like a thin coin into the notch
located on the front of the transmitter, below the
open trunk button, and pry it apart.
2. Gently slide the battery out of the transmitter.
Do not use a metal object to remove the battery.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter. Use a
type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
4. Snap the transmitter back together, making sure the
halves are secured tightly, so water will not get in.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work,
resynchronize the transmitter.
Resynchronization
If the functions on the remote keyless entry transmitter
do not work, or, if only the remote alarm works, after
the battery is replaced, then the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver. Do this by pressing
and holding the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time for about eight seconds.
You must be within range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the
horn will sound and the exterior lamps will ¯ash once.
The system should now operate properly.

driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started the vehicle,
and then activate the reto-active reset feature, the
display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started
your vehicle. As you drive, the display will then increase
to 5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle ± like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio ± be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very important
to do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle's engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it ®rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
®nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
