Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children. Neither the
distance traveled nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use
safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state
in the United States and in every Canadian
province says children up to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.{CAUTION:
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck and the safety belt
continues to tighten. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to play with the safety belts.
Every time infants and young children ride in
vehicles, they should have the protection provided
by appropriate restraints. Young children should
not use the vehicle’s adult safety belts alone,
unless there is no other choice. Instead, they need
to use a child restraint.

Q(Lock):Press this button once to lock all of the
doors. Pressing lock again within three seconds
may cause the horn to chirp for lock conrmation.
You can choose different feedback options for each
press of the lock button. See “Lock Feedback” and
“Unlock Feedback” underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 282for more information.
L(Panic):Press this button to sound the horn
and ash the headlamps and taillamps for up
to 30 seconds. Panic can be turned off by pressing
the button again, by waiting for 30 seconds, or
by starting the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about two 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.

Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
Your vehicle may have an automatic lock/unlock
feature which enables you to program your
vehicle’s power door locks. You can program this
feature through the Driver Information Center
(DIC), or by the following method. SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 282.
Programmable Locking Feature
Following are the two available programming
options:
Mode 1:All doors lock when the transmission is
shifted into gear. This is the mode that is
pre-programmed in the factory for your vehicle for
automatic transmission vehicles.Mode 2:All doors lock when the vehicle speed is
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h). This is the mode
that is pre-programmed in the factory for manual
transmission vehicles.
The following instructions tell you how to change
the automatic door lock mode (automatic
transmission only). Choose one of the two
programming options listed above before entering
the program mode. To enter the program mode,
do the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold
it there while you perform the next step.
2. Turn the key to RUN then back to LOCK
twice. Then, with the key in LOCK, release
the turn signal/multifunction lever. Once
you do this, the doors will lock and unlock, the
horn will chirp twice, and a 30-second timer
will begin. You are now ready to program
the automatic door lock feature.

Mode 4:No automatic door unlock.
The following instructions tell you how to
change the automatic door unlock mode
(automatic transmission only). Choose one of the
four programming options listed above before
entering the program mode. To enter the program
mode, do the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold
it there while you perform the next step.
2. Turn the key to RUN and LOCK twice. Then,
with the key in LOCK, release the turn
signal/multifunction lever. Once you do this,
the doors will lock and unlock, the horn
will chirp twice, and a 30-second timer will
begin. You are now ready to program
the automatic door unlock feature.3. Press the door unlock switch once. You will
hear one, two, three, or four chimes. The
number of chimes tells you which unlock mode
is currently selected. Continue to press the
door unlock switch until the number of chimes
that you hear matches the number of the
desired mode. If you take longer than
30 seconds, the locks will automatically lock
and unlock and the horn will chirp twice
to indicate that you have left the program
mode. If this occurs, you can repeat the
procedure beginning with Step 1 to re-enter
the programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by
turning the ignition to RUN. The doors will
automatically lock and unlock and the horn will
chirp twice to indicate that you are leaving
the program mode. If the lock/unlock switches are
not pressed while in the programming mode,
the current automatic settings will not be modied.
See your dealer for more information.

When starting your engine in very cold weather
(below 0°F or−18°C), do this:
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the ignition key to START and hold it there up
to 15 seconds. When the engine starts, let
go of the key.
2. If your engine still will not start, or starts but
then stops, it could be ooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the oor and holding it there as you
hold the key in START for about three seconds.
When the engine starts, let go of the key and
accelerator. If the vehicle starts briey but then
stops again, do the same thing, but this time
keep the pedal down for ve or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
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.Engine Coolant Heater
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the
engine coolant heater can help. You will get easier
starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should
be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to
starting your vehicle. At temperatures above
32°F (0°C), use of the coolant heater is not
required. Your vehicle may also have an internal
thermostat in the plug end of the cord. This
will prevent operation of the engine coolant
heater when the temperature is at or above
0°F (−18 C°) as noted on the cord.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical
cord. The cord is located on the driver’s
side of the engine compartment, near
the power steering uid reservoir. If you have
a diesel engine, refer to diesel supplement
for location.

following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button for
approximately four seconds until either a
ashing F or C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the
compass/temperature display will return.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed
for an extended period of time, please consult your
dealer. Under certain circumstances, a delay in
updating the temperature is normal.Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on
automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do the
following:
1. Make sure the green indicator light, located to
the left of the on/off button, is lit. If it’s not, press
and hold the on/off button for approximately
six seconds until the green light comes on,
indicating that the mirror is in automatic
dimming mode.
2. Turn off the automatic dimming mirror function
by pressing and holding the on/off button for
approximately six seconds, until the green
indicator light turns off.

Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors
if the following occurs:
They are accidentally manually folded/
unfolded.
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded
position.
The mirrors shake and utter at normal driving
speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and
unfold them at least three times using the mirror
controls. This will reset them to their normal
position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature,
the driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is
controlled by the on and off settings found on the
electrochromic inside mirror.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirrors
If the vehicle has the memory package, the outside
mirrors are able to perform the curb view assist
mirror function. This feature will cause the
passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing the driver to view the curb when parallel
parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) and a short delay has occurred,
the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return to
its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in
memory as the tilt position.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 265for more
information.
