3. Remove and replace the battery. When re-
placing the battery, match the + sign on the
battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery
clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching
the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may

4. To assemble the RKE transmitter case, snap
the two halves together.
General InformationThe RKE transmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by
EEC regulations. These devices must be certi-
fied to conform to specific regulations in each
individual country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommunication
Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125,
which is based on ETC 300–220 but has addi-
tional unique requirements. Other defined re-
quirements are noted in ANNEX VI of COMMIS-
SION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence. •
This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a
normal distance, check for these two condi-
tions:
1. Weak battery in RKE transmitter. The ex-
pected life of the battery is a minimum of three
years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a
radio station tower, airport transmitter, and
some mobile or CB radios.
DOOR LOCKSThe power door locks can be manually locked
from inside the vehicle by using the door lock
knob. To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel downward. To
unlock the front doors, pull the inside door
handle to the first detent. To unlock the rear
doors, pull the door lock knob on the door trim
panel upward. If the lock knob is down when
the door is closed, the door will lock. Therefore,
make sure the key is not inside the vehicle
before closing the door.
WARNING!
• For personal security and safety in the
event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors
when you drive, as well as when you park
and leave the vehicle.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.

The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires air bag deploy-
ment. This low output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
•No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel, be-
cause any such objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the air bag to inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them manu-
ally. You may damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The protective cov-
ers for the air bag cushions are designed to
open only when the air bags are inflating.
• Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citi-
zen band radios, etc. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB) may provide enhanced protection to
help protect an occupant during a side impact.
The SAB is marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam
between the front and side of the seat’s trim
cover. Each air bag deploys independently; a
left side impact deploys the left air bag only
and a right-side impact deploys the right air
bag only. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact and
vehicle rollover protection to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in addition to that pro-
vided by the body structure. Each air bag
features inflated chambers placed adjacent to
the head of each outboard occupant that re-
duce the potential for side-impact head inju-
ries. The SABIC deploy downward, covering
both windows on the impact side.

BSM warning light remaining illuminated
the entire time the vehicle is in a forward
gear.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of snow,
ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not
block the area of the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects (bum-
per stickers, bicycle racks, etc.). The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in
the detection zones by illuminating the BSM
warning light located in the outside mirrors in
addition to sounding an audible (chime) alert
and reducing the radio volume. Refer to
“Modes Of Operation” for further information.
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (side, rear,
front) while driving to see if an alert is neces-
sary. The BSM system will issue an alert during
these types of zone entries.Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle
on either side and enter the rear detection zone
with a relative speed of less than 30 mph
(48 km/h).

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It is
intended to be used to help a driver detect an
oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing up,
even when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Modes Of OperationThree selectable modes of operation are avail-
able in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime, the BSM system will provide a visual
alert in the appropriate side view mirror based
on a detected object. If the turn signal is then
activated, and it corresponds to an alert pres-
ent on that side of the vehicle, an audible chime
will also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal
and detected object are present on the same
side at the same time, both the visual and audio
alerts will be issued. In addition to the audible
alert the radio (if on) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
•Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio volume is re-
duced. •
If the hazard flashers are on, the system
will request the appropriate visual alert
only.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. When-
ever an audible alert is requested, the radio
volume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP state always requests
the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM
or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.
Astronomy Zone — System Temporarily
Unavailable
When the vehicle enters this zone the blind
spot system will become temporarily unavail-
able and the EVIC will display the message “
Blind spot system unavailable-Astronomy 73

zone”. The side mirrors LED’s will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone.

Bluetooth
“Hands-Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect™ Phone features Bluetooth tech-
nology - the global standard that enables dif-
ferent electronic devices to connect to each
other without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect™ Phone works no matter where you
stow your mobile phone (be it your purse,
pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is
turned on and has been paired to the vehicle’s
Uconnect™ Phone. The Uconnect™ Phone al-
lows up to seven mobile phones to be linked to
the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the Uconnect™ Phone
at a time. The Uconnect™ Phone is available in
English, Dutch, French, German, Italian or
Spanish languages (as equipped).
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
local laws and phone use. All attention should
be kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to do
so may result in a collision causing serious
injury or death. Uconnect™ Phone Button
