GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 15
To Lock The Doors
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all
doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the
signal. If a door is open, the turn signal lights will flash at an
increased rate. This is to indicate that a door is still open.
Horn activation settings after a Radio Frequency (RF) lock
command can be adjusted manually. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
Locking Doors With A Key
1. Insert the key with either side up.
2. Turn the key to the right to lock the door.
3. Turn the key to the left to unlock the door.
Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Maintenance”
for maintenance procedures.
Sound Horn With Lock
This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are
locked with the key fob. This feature can be turned on or
turned off. To change the current setting, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
Key Fob Battery Replacement
NOTE:
Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
The recommended replacement battery is CR2032.
1. Push the mechanical key release button and release the mechanical key to access the battery case screw located on
the side of the key fob.
2. Rotate the screw located on the side of the key fob using a small screwdriver.

For further information, refer to “Cybersecurity” in
“Multimedia”.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an
inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure
to pass could prevent vehicle registration.For states that require an Inspection and Mainte -
nance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on
when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is
ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II
system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, recently had a depleted battery or a battery
replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not
ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.
WARNING!
• ONLY an authorized service technician should connect equipment to the OBD II connection port in order to
read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.
• If unauthorized equipment is connected to the OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior tracking
device, it may:
• Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety related systems, could be impaired or a loss of
vehicle control could occur that may result in an
accident involving serious injury or death.
• Access, or allow others to access, information stored in your vehicle systems, including personal
information.

96 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you
can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your
vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position, but do notcrank or start the engine.
NOTE:
If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test
over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ON posi -
tion, you will see the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:
• The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the igni -
tion or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's
OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed
to the I/M station.
• The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illumi
-
nated until you place the ignition in the off position or
start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II
system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an autho -
rized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently
serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may
need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you
normally would in order for your OBD II system to update.
A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that
the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready
or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle
operation you should have your vehicle serviced before
going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your
vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running.

206 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
FUSESUnderhood Fuses
The Front Distribution Unit is located on the right side of the
engine compartment, next to the battery. To access the fuses,
remove fasteners and remove the cover.
Front Distribution Unit
The ID number of the electrical component corresponding to
each fuse can be found on the back of the cover.WARNING!
• When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appro -
priate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the
original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with
metal wires or any other material. Do not place a fuse
inside a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to
use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury,
fire and/or property damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other services are switched off and/
or disengaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system), power unit systems (engine
system, transmission system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
