Key Access
Keyless Access
The key is used for the ignition and
all door locks. A key number plate is supplied with
the keys. Record the key number
and keep it in a safe place not in the
vehicle. If the key is lost, see a
dealer for duplicates by using the
key number. Key numbers are not
recorded so it is very important to
keep track of the key number plate.
See your dealer if a replacement
key or additional key is needed.
If it becomes difficult to turn a key,
inspect the key blade for debris.
Periodically clean with a brush
or pick.
Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System
See
Radio Frequency Statement
0 273.
If there is a decrease in the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) operating
range:
. Check the distance. The
transmitter may be too far from
the vehicle. .
Check the location. Other
vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
. Check the transmitter's battery.
See “Battery Replacement” later
in this section.
. If the transmitter is still not
working correctly, see your
dealer or a qualified technician
for service.
Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation
If equipped, the RKE transmitter
functions work up to 10 m (33 ft)

The RKE transmitter buttons will not
operate when the key is in the
ignition.
Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to the vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
When the replacement transmitter is
programmed to the vehicle, all
remaining transmitters must also be
programmed. Any lost or stolen
transmitters no longer work once the
new transmitter is programmed.
Each vehicle can have up to
five transmitters programmed to it.
Battery ReplacementCaution
When replacing the battery, do
not touch any of the circuitry on
the transmitter. Static from your
body could damage the
transmitter. To replace the battery:
1. Remove the screw.
2. Separate the transmitter with a
flat, thin tool.
.Carefully insert the tool into
the notch located along the
parting line of the
transmitter.
. Twist the tool until the
transmitter is separated.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Insert the new battery, positive side facing the bottom of the
case. Replace with a CR1620
or equivalent battery.
5. Close the lid and install the screw securely.

Power Windows
{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is dangerous for many
reasons; children or others could
be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power
windows or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. They
could be seriously injured or killed
if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave the RKE
transmitter in a vehicle with
children.
The power window controls (1) are
on the front doors. The driver door
also has a control (2) to operate the
front passenger window.
Press the switch to the first detent to
lower the window. Pull to the first
detent to raise the window. Release
to stop at the desired position.
The switches work when the ignition
is in ON or for a period of time after
the ignition is placed in the OFF
position. If the driver or passenger
door is opened the power to the
windows is canceled.
Express-Up/Down
If equipped, the front windows have
an express feature that allows the
window to be raised or lowered
without holding the switch. Press or
pull the switch fully and release it to
activate the express feature. This
mode can be canceled by briefly
pressing or pulling the switch.
Auto-Reverse Function
If any object is in the path of the
window when express operation is
active, the window stops at the
obstacle and auto-reverses to a
preset factory position. Weather
conditions such as severe icing also
cause the window to auto-reverse.
The window returns to normal
operation once the obstacle or
condition is removed.
If the battery on the vehicle has
been recharged, disconnected, or is
not working, the auto-reverse
function may not operate properly.
If this occurs, see“Programming the
Power Windows” later in this
section.

the starter could be damaged.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting.
Do not race the engine while
warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short
distance first, especially in cold
weather.
In cold weather, keep the
engine running for a minimum
of two to three minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a
short period of time may make
the vehicle more difficult to
start.
Avoid situations that can lead to
potential battery discharge and
potential no-start conditions
such as: .
Installation or extended use of
electronic accessories that
consume battery power when
the engine is not running (phone
chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
. Vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short
distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged
to maintain battery life.
Engine Heater
If equipped, the engine coolant
heater can provide easier starting in
cold weather conditions at or below
−7 °C (20 °F). The engine coolant
heater should be plugged in at least
two hours before starting.
To Use the Engine Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the
electrical cord. The cord is in
the engine compartment, on
the passenger side.

Connect it to the positive (+)
terminal (4) of the good battery.
Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if equipped.
7. Connect the black negative (−) cable to the negative (−)
terminal (3) of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−)
terminal if equipped.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.
The other end of the
negative (−) cable does not go
to the dead battery. It goes to
the shock tower, or to a remote
negative (−) terminal on the
vehicle with the dead battery.
8. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) grounding point (2)
on the shock tower of the
vehicle with the dead battery.Caution
Make sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that the
cable clamps do not contact any
other metal.
9. Start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a
few minutes.
10. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2,000
rpm, and start the engine of the
vehicle being jump started.
Caution
Do not keep the starter motor
engaged for more than
10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, turn the key
off and wait three to four seconds
before trying again. 11. After starting the engine,
disconnect jumper cables as
directed below.
12. If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle
and removing the jumper cables,
allow it to idle for several minutes.
