2. Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals on the back
surface of the circuit board.
3. Remove the old battery.Note:Please refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram inside the remote entry
transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery. Press the battery
down to ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery housing
cavity.
5. Snap the two halves back together.
Note:Replacement of the battery willnotcause the remote transmitter
to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter
should operate normally after battery replacement.
Replacing lost remote entry transmitters
If you would like to have your remote entry transmitter reprogrammed
because you lost one, or would like to buy additional remote entry
transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or takeall
remote entry transmittersto your authorized dealer for
reprogramming.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seats/power
mirrors/adjustable pedals feature, you can associate a remote entry
transmitter to each memory position using this procedure. The first
transmitter that is programmed will recall Driver 1 settings, and the
second transmitter that is programmed will recall Driver 2 settings.
How to program your remote entry transmitters
You must haveall remote keyless entry keypads and remote entry
transmitters(maximum of four) available before beginning this
procedure.Note:Do not press the brake pedal anytime during this
sequencing, as doing so will invalidate the procedure.

Tire rotation
Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the
scheduled maintenance informationthat comes with your vehicle) will
help your tires wear more evenly, providing better tire performance and
longer tire life.

(front tires at top of diagram)
Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note:If your tires show uneven wear ask your authorized dealer to
check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or
mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
Note:Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A
dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is
different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If
you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel it is intended for temporary use
only and should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note:After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked
and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.

Rotation, pressure adjustment and TPMS reset example
The following example describes all the major steps involved in rotating
tires on a vehicle with different front and rear tire pressures. It
illustrates that the TPMS reset procedure needs to follow tire rotation
and pressure adjustment to avoid a possible false low tire warning.
Example:
A particular vehicle has the following recommended tire pressures: 50 psi
(345 kPa) front; 80 psi (552 kPa) rear.
Note:For your vehicle’s pressure, refer to the Safety Compliance
Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of your vehicle’s
driver’s door.
Before tire rotation
Sensor 1: 50 psi
Sensor 2: 50 psi
Sensor 3: 80 psi
Sensor 4: 80 psi
