Ignition Positions
Your vehicle has an
electronic keyless
ignition with pushbutton
start.
/(START):Press this button while your foot is
on the brake to start the engine. The shifter
must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to start the
engine and the keyless access transmitter must
be in the vehicle for the ignition to work.
9Acc. (OFF/ACCESSORY):When this button
is pressed, the engine will turn off even if the shifter
is not in PARK (P). If the shifter is in PARK (P), the
ignition mode will change to Retained Accessory
Power (RAP), if all doors are closed. The ignition
mode will change to OFF, if a front door is opened.SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 89
for more information. If the shifter is not in
PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to Acc.
(Accessory). SeeShifting Into Park (P) on page 99.
When the engine is off, press this button to place
the vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY
MODE ON will display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). This mode allows you to use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers while the
engine is off. Use accessory mode if you must have
your vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for
example, if your vehicle is being towed. If the door
is open while in accessory mode, the key in
reminder chime will sound continuously.
If the push-button start is not working, your vehicle
may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing
interference to the keyless access system. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 206for more
information.
After being in Acc. for about 20 minutes, the vehicle
will automatically enter RAP or will turn off,
depending on if the doors are opened or closed.

6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the programmed Universal Home Remote
button for two seconds, then release it.
Immediately press and hold the same button
a second time for two seconds, then
release it. Immediately, press and hold the
same button a third time for two seconds, then
release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate your rolling-code equipped device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” You do
not want to repeat Step 1, as this will erase
all previous programming from the Universal Home
Remote buttons.Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to time out or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not be long enough
for Universal Home Remote to pick up the signal
during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate
operators are manufactured to time out in
the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming Universal
Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the Universal Home
Remote button while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter
button until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator
light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” to complete.

NO FOB, OFF OR RUN?
This message displays when a keyless access
transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle while
you are trying to turn the ignition off. Your
vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna signal
causing the keyless access system to be
jammed. The vehicle will remain in Acc. until off or
START has been pressed or ve minutes has
expired. If you turn the ignition off and you cannot
nd the keyless access transmitter, you will not
be able to restart the vehicle. The keyless access
transmitter needs to be inside of the vehicle in
order for the vehicle to start. SeeStarting
the Engine on page 89for more information.
OVER SPEED WARNING
This message displays when the vehicle speed

is displayed.
PRESS BRAKE TO START
This message displays to inform you that the
brake pedal must be applied to start the vehicle.
Make sure you are pressing the brake pedal all the
way down.
REDUCED ENGINE POWER
This message displays when the vehicle is
reducing engine power because the transmission
is being placed in gear under conditions that
may cause damage to the vehicle’s engine,
transmission, or ability to accelerate. Reduced
engine power can affect the vehicle’s ability
to accelerate. If this message is on, but there is
no reduction in performance, proceed to your
destination. The performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may
be driven at a reduced speed while this message
is on, but acceleration and speed may be
reduced. Anytime this message stays on, the
vehicle should be taken to your dealer for service
as soon as possible.
RIGHT DOOR AJAR

Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antennas are located under the
decklid surface in the trunk compartment. The
antennas are hidden from view and are not
accessible.If adding an aftermarket cellular telephone to your
vehicle, do not attach the antenna to the rear
glass. This would interfere with the convertible top
retraction operation and could cause damage to
the nished/painted surfaces.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
Your vehicle may have the XM™ Satellite Radio
antennas that are located in the outside rear
view mirrors. These antennas are hidden from
view and are not accessible.
