Keyless Access System
Your vehicle has a Keyless Access System that
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.
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.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
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”
underKeyless Access System Operation on
page 88.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer
is not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your keyless
access transmitter should last about three years.
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. The DIC may display KEY FOB
BATTERY LOW.
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOBS DETECTED when you try to start
the vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter
in the center console storage area transmitter
pocket with the buttons facing to the front of the
vehicle. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the
start button. SeeStarting the Engine on page 113,
for additional information about your vehicle’s
electronic keyless ignition with push button start.
Although this will start the vehicle, it is
recommended that you replace the transmitter
battery as soon as possible.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.

If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather (below 0°F
or−18°C), it could be ooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all
the way to the oor while cranking for up to
15 seconds maximum. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the accelerator. If the vehicle
starts briey but then stops again, do the same
thing. This clears the extra gasoline from
the engine.
Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods
of time, by pressing the START button
immediately after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking motor, and
drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in starting the
engine and protects components. Once cranking
has been initiated, the engine continues cranking
for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts.If the engine does not start, cranking automatically
stops after 15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this
system also prevents cranking if the engine
is already running.
Notice:Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you add
electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your
dealer. If you do not, your engine might not
perform properly. Any resulting damage would
not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
Stopping Your Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the Acc.
button located on the instrument panel. If the shifter
is not in PARK (P), the engine shuts off and the
vehicle goes into the Accessory Mode. The DIC
displays “SHIFT TO PARK”. Once the shifter is
moved to PARK (P), the vehicle turns off.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected
inside the vehicle when it is turned to off, the DIC
displays NO FOB OFF OR RUN?.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 264for
more information.

Certain features can be programmed not to recall
until the ignition is turned off.
To change feature preferences, use the following
procedure.
Entering the Personal Settings Menu
To enter the feature programming mode, use
the following procedure:
1. Be sure the ignition is either on, in Acc., or in
RAP and place the transmission in PARK (P)
or make sure that the vehicle speed is
less than 6 mph (9 km/h).
To avoid excessive drain on the battery, it is
recommended that the headlamps are
turned off.
2. Press any button on the appropriate keyless
access transmitter to identify yourself as
Driver 1 or Driver 2.
3. Turn on the radio by pressing the
power/volume knob.

Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water?
If so, your vehicle’s electrical system may be wet.
The condition will usually be corrected when
the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips
should turn the light off.
Have you recently changed brands of fuel?
If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel.
SeeGasoline Octane on page 365. Poor fuel
quality will cause the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed. You may notice this as
stalling after start-up, stalling when you put
the vehicle into gear, misring, hesitation on
acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once the engine is
warmed up.) This will be detected by the system
and cause the light to turn on.
If you experience one or more of these conditions,
change the fuel brand you use. It will require at
least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the
light off.
If none of the above steps have made the light
turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle.
Your dealer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to x any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed.Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or may begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass
this inspection could prevent you from getting a
vehicle registration.
Here are some things you need to know to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine light is on or not working properly.
To perform a check engine light bulb check with the
keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in
the passenger compartment. SeeIgnition Positions
on page 111. Press the bottom of the Acc. button
on the instrument panel and hold the button down
for ve seconds. The instrument panel, including
the check engine light, will light up and the ignition
will be on, but the engine will not start — if you
press the bottom of the Acc. button only briey, less
than ve seconds, the accessory power mode will
be turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb
check, be sure to press and release the Acc. button
again to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the
vehicle’s battery.
