NOTE
In the event that the vehicle ’s battery is
replaced, discharged or disconnected,
it will be necessary to start the vehicle
a minimum of one time using the key
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. This is required to allow
the vehicle electronic systems to re-synchronize. ! Changing the batteries
CAUTION
. Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery. .
Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.
. There is a danger of explosion if
an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.
. Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
The two 3-volt lithium batteries (model
CR-2032) supplied in your remote engine
start transmitter should last approximately
one year, depending on usage. When the
batteries begin to weaken, you will notice
a decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote control operates).
Follow the instructions below to change
the remote engine start transmitter bat-teries.
1. Remove the small Phillips type screw
located on the back side lower left corner
of the transmitter.
2. Carefully pry the remote engine start
transmitter halves apart using a small flat-
head screwdriver.

&To change the cruising speed
! To increase the speed (by the “RES/
SET ”switch)
Press the “RES/SET ”switch to the “RES ”
side and hold it until the vehicle reaches
the desired speed. Then, release the
switch. The vehicle speed at that moment
will be memorized and treated as the new
set speed.

When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 4 mph (6.8 km/h), the set speed can
be increased 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time
by pressing the “RES/SET ”switch to the
“ RES ”side quickly. Except U.S. spec. models
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 4.4 km/h, the set speed can be
increased 1 km/h each time by pressingthe

vehiclespeedwhenthebuttonis
pressed and the speed last time you
set is less than 4 mph (6.8 km/h), the

(1.6 km/h). This occurs because the
cruise control system regards this
operation as that intended to decrease
the vehicle speed.. Except U.S. spec. models
If the difference between the actual vehicle speed when the button is
pressed and the speed last time you
set is less than 4.4 km/h, the vehicle
speed will be lowered by 1 km/h. This

system regards this operation as that
intended to decrease the vehiclespeed. !
To decrease the speed (by the “RES/SET ”switch)
