Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.
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 will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is 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.1. Insert a at object, such as a coin, into the slot on
the side of the transmitter and twist it to separate
the halves.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not
use the metal anges to pop out the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves
are snapped together tightly so water will not get in.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons
for seven seconds to synchronize the transmitter.
6. Check the transmitter operation.

4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (−) terminal locations on
each vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for jump
starting. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal for that purpose.
If your vehicle has the 3.5L
V6 engine, the terminal is
located under a tethered
cap at the front of the
underhood fuse block.
Squeeze the tabs
and swing the cap out of
the way to access the
remote positive (+)
terminal.If your vehicle has the 3.9L
V6 engine, the terminal is
located under the fuse
block cover. Remove the
cover to access the remote
positive (+) terminal.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
more information on the location of the remote
positive (+) terminals. You should always use the
remote positive (+) terminal instead of the positive (+)
terminal on your battery.

An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you. Keep
