Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on page 8-20forinformation regarding Part 15 of the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) Rules andRSS-210/211 of Industry and Science Canada.
Changes or modifications to this system by other thanan authorized service facility could void authorization touse this equipment.
If there is a decrease in the RKE operating range, try this:
•Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far
from the vehicle. Stand closer during rainy or snowyweather.
•Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left orright, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.
•Check the transmitter’s battery. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section.
•If the transmitter is still not working correctly, see
your dealer/retailer or a qualified technician forservice.

The vehicle has a Computer-Controlled CrankingSystem. This feature assists in starting theengine and protects components. If the ignition keyis turned to the START position, and thenreleased when the engine begins cranking, theengine will continue cranking for a few seconds oruntil the vehicle starts. If the engine does notstart and the key is held in START, cranking will bestopped after 15 seconds to prevent crankingmotor damage. To prevent gear damage, thissystem also prevents cranking if the engineis already running. Engine cranking can be stoppedby turning the ignition switch to theACC/ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF position.
Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods oftime, by returning the key to the START positionimmediately after cranking has ended, can overheatand damage the cranking motor, and drain thebattery. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try,to let the cranking motor cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,especially in very cold weather (below 0°F or!18°C), it could be flooded with too much gasoline.Try pushing the accelerator pedal all the way tothe floor and holding it there as you hold the key inSTART for up to a maximum of 15 seconds.Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allowthe cranking motor to cool down. When theengine starts, let go of the key and accelerator. Ifthe vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, repeatthese steps. This clears the extra gasoline fromthe engine. Do not race the engine immediatelyafter starting it. Operate the engine andtransmission gently until the oil warms up andlubricates all moving parts.
Notice:The engine is designed to work with theelectronics in the vehicle. If you add electrical partsor accessories, you could change the way the engineoperates. Before adding electrical equipment, checkwith your dealer/retailer. If you do not, the enginemight not perform properly. Any resulting damagewould not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
