GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during
starting, the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (refer
to "Warning Lights And Messages" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel"). This condition leads to the engine
turning off after two seconds. In this
case, switch the ignition to STOP and
then to ON; if it is still blocked, try with
the other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact an
authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/
Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed
while driving, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact an authorized dealer. Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the protection
function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must
be stored by the system's control unit.
Contact an authorized dealer to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with a
code.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM —

signals.
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/liftgate
(perimeter protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which
is not validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the
vehicle (anti-lift protection — if
equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the turn signals.
Note: The alarm system is activated by
the Engine Immobilizer system, which is
automatically activated when you get out
of the vehicle with the key fob and lock
the doors.

The following operation will delete the
manufacture’s standard codes and does
not need to be repeated during the
subsequent button programming:
Push and hold the outer buttons (1 and
3). After about ten seconds, the lighted
indicators will start to flash. Release both
buttons. Note:
Follow the steps below to begin
programming your remote control to one
of the HomeLink buttons:
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
button (1, 2 or 3).
When the HomeLink indicator begins to
flash slowly, move the portable remote
control one to three inches from the
HomeLink system (keeping the
programmable button pushed down).
2. If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
3. The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons.
Using The Homelink System
The HomeLink system activates the
garage door or gate motor, just like the
portable remote control. The vehicle
must be within the range of the garage
door and the ignition must be in the ON
position.
Push the programmed button (1, 2 or 3).
While the signal is being transmitted, the
indicator is lit and the system (garage
door, gate, etc.) will respond. If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.
Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or gate
motor has an alternative code, proceed
as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems to
have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate can
be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off for
two seconds. This sequence is repeated
for 20 seconds.

Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety

or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another original
remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by canceling
the previously stored frequency.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,

starting procedure can be shown in the
display.
Warning!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake and set
the gear selector to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a few
seconds, you need to repeat the
procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in “In Case Of Emergency”
for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
Remote Starting System
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of at least 300
feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also
activates the climate control (if
equipped), the heated seats (if equipped),
and the heated steering wheel (if
equipped), depending on temperatures
outside and inside of the vehicle.
Note:
Obstructions between the vehicle
and key fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be
met before the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK (P).

will be enabled. Exiting remote start will
resume previous operation, except if the
Windshield Wiper De-Icer is active.
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and
operation will continue.
Cold Weather Operation
To prevent possible engine damage while
starting at low temperatures, this vehicle
will inhibit engine cranking when the
ambient temperature is less than –22° F
(–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor
reading indicates an engine block heater
has not been used. An externally-
powered electric engine block heater is
available as optional equipment or from
your authorized dealer.
The message “plug in engine heater” will
be displayed in the instrument cluster
when the ambient temperature is below
5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is
shut off as a reminder to avoid possible
crank delays at the next cold start.
Caution!
Use of the recommended oil and adhering to
the prescribed oil change intervals is
important to prevent engine damage and
ensure satisfactory starting in cold

2. If the engine does not start, wait five
seconds and let the starter cool down and
then repeat the starting procedure
3. If the engine does not start after eight
attempts, let the starter cool down for at
least 10 seconds, and then repeat the
starting procedure
If the problem persists, contact your
authorized dealer.
Note:
After prolonged vehicle inactivity,
very difficult starting, that can be noticed
through rapid fatigue of the starter,
might also be due to a partially flat
battery. In this case, refer to "Jump
Starting" in "In Case Of Emergency".
If Engine Fails To Start
Starting the Engine with Key Fob
Battery Run Down or Drained
If the ignition does not respond when the
button is pushed, the key fob battery
might be run down or drained. Therefore,
the system does not detect the presence
of the key fob in the vehicle, and will
display a dedicated message.
In this case, follow the instructions
outlined in "Starting With A Discharged
Key Fob Battery" in the "Getting To Know
Your Vehicle" chapter, and start the
engine normally.
