unlock button to unlock the doors,
the automatic locking function of the
system will lock the doors again to
prevent theft.
In areas near a TV tower, electric
power plant, radio station, etc. or
under any conditions involving
strong electrical disturbances, the
remote control unit operating range
might change or the keyless entry
system might not work.

operate in the following cases:
.
The engine control switch is in
the "ON" position.
. The key is inserted in the engine
control switch.
. One of the doors is open.Replacing the Battery in the
Remote Control Unit

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.
For safety reasons, do not place
packages, tools, or other items in
the driver
’s area that may restrict
access to the controls or sight of the
gauges.
