BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The recommended replacement bat-
tery is CR2032.
1. With the RKE transmitter buttons
facing down, use a flat blade to pry
the two halves of the RKE transmitter
apart. Make sure not to damage the
seal during removal.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
Avoid touching the new battery with
your fingers. Skin oils may cause bat-
tery deterioration. If you touch a bat-
tery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
3. To assemble the RKE transmitter
case, snap the two halves together.DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock each door, pull the
inside door handle.
If the door lock knob is down when

WARNING!(Continued)
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the igni-
tion and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children, and do not leave
the ignition in the ACC or ON/
RUN position. A child could oper-
ate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.

storage area in the vehicle.
4. Have the tire inspected and re-
paired or replaced at the earliest op-
portunity at an authorized dealer or
tire service center.
5. Replace the Sealant Bottle (1) and
Sealant Hose (6) assembly at your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to “(F) Sealant Bottle and Hose
Replacement.”
NOTE: When having the tire ser-
viced, advise the authorized dealer
or service center that the tire has
been sealed using the TIREFIT
service kit.(F) Sealant Bottle And Hose

age location in the vehicle.JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE: When using a portable
battery booster pack follow the
manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage
greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alterna-
tor or electrical system may occur.WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.

CAUTION!
When installing the IntegratedPower Module cover, it is impor-
tant to ensure the cover is prop-
erly positioned and fully latched.
Failure to do so may allow water
to get into the Integrated Power
Module, and possibly result in an
electrical system failure.
When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse hav-
ing the correct amperage rating.
The use of a fuse with a rating
other than indicated may result in
a dangerous electrical system
overload. If a properly rated fuse
continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must
be corrected. VEHICLE STORAGE
If you will not be using your vehicle
for more than 21 days, you may want
to take steps to preserve your battery.
Disengage the mini-fuse in the
Power Distribution Center labeled
IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).
Or disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Refer to “Prepa-
ration for Jump Start” in “Jump-
Starting” to identify the location of
the negative post.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for
about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
to minimize the possibility of com-
pressor damage when the system is
started again. REPLACEMENT BULBS
All the inside bulbs are brass or glass
wedge base. Aluminum base bulbs are
not approved and should not be used
for replacement.
