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 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.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under

System Operation
The vehicle’s doors can be locked and unlocked,
and the trunk can be unlatched from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 60 feet (18 m) away with the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature you can
also start your vehicle with the RKE transmitter.
Your RKE transmitter, with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of 195 feet (60 m)
away. However, the range may be less while the
vehicle is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you were to
turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 94.

3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with
the positive side of the battery facing down.
Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent
type. Make sure the cover is on tightly,
so water will not get in.
4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter
together.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.
Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine from
outside the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle’s
heating or air conditioning systems, rear window
defogger, and heated seats. SeeHeated Seats on
page 11andHeated and Cooled Seats on page 12
for additional information. When the remote start
system is active, the climate control system will
heat or cool the inside of the vehicle at the setting
the vehicle was set to when the vehicle was last
turned off. The rear window defogger will be turned
on by the climate control system when it is cold
outside. If the vehicle has heated seats, they may
also turn on. Cooled seats are not activated during
a remote start. Normal operation of the system will
return after the key is turned to the RUN position.Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using the remote start to have
the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements on remote starting
of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
If your vehicle has remote start, the RKE transmitter
provides, an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle is
running. As a result, you may need to be closer to
your vehicle to turn it off, than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 94for
additional information.
/(Remote Start):If your vehicle has the remote
start feature, the RKE transmitter will have a
button with this symbol on it.
