3. Insert the new battery, positive sidefacing down. Replace with a CR2032 or
equivalent battery.
4. Snap the transmitter back together.
Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote start
feature. This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle. It may also
start the vehicle's heating or air conditioning
systems. See Climate Control Systems 0119.
Laws in some local communities may restrict
the use of remote starters. For example,
some laws may require a person using
remote start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local regulations for
any requirements on remote starting of
vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if the
vehicle is low on fuel. The vehicle may run
out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter range may be less while
the vehicle is running.
Other conditions can affect the performance
of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System 08.
/:This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if the vehicle has remote start.
To start the engine using the remote start
feature:
1. Press and release
Qon the transmitter.
2. Immediately press and hold
/until the
turn signal lamps flash. If you cannot see
the lamps, press and hold
/for at least
four seconds.
When the engine starts, the parking
lamps will turn on and remain on while
the engine is running. The doors will be
locked.
The engine will continue to run for
10 minutes. After 30 seconds, repeat the
steps if a 10-minute extension is desired.
Remote start can be extended only once.
After entering the vehicle during a remote
start, turn the ignition on to drive the
vehicle.
A maximum of two remote starts or a start
with an extension are allowed between
ignition cycles. If the remote start procedure is used again
before the first 10-minute time frame has
ended, the first 10 minutes will immediately
expire and the second 10-minute time frame
will start.
After the engine has been remote started
two times or a start with an extension, the
ignition must be turned on and then off
before the remote start procedure can be
used again.
To cancel a remote start do any of the
following:
.Press and hold/until the parking lamps
turn off.
.Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
.Turn the ignition on and then off.
The remote vehicle start feature will not
operate if:
.The key is in the ignition.
.The hood is open.
.The hazard warning flashers are on.
.There is an emission control system
malfunction. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine Light) 076.
.The engine coolant temperature is
too high.
.The oil pressure is low.

Fuel Gauge
Metric
EnglishWhen the ignition is on, the fuel gauge
indicates about how much fuel is left in
the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel
door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the low
fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel
left, but the vehicle should be refueled soon.
Here are three things that some owners ask
about. None of these show a problem with
the fuel gauge:
.It takes a little more, or less fuel to fill up
than the gauge indicated. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the tank
was half full, but it actually took a little
more, or less than half the tank's capacity
to fill the tank.
.The gauge moves a little while turning a
corner, speeding up or braking.
.The gauge takes a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is turned on
and goes back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Instruments and Controls 73
The oil pressure gauge shows the engine oil
pressure in psi (pounds per square inch)
or kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is
running.
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity, but
readings above the low pressure zone
indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be
caused by a dangerously low oil level or
other problem causing low oil pressure.
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. Driving with the
engine oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil
level as soon as possible. Add oil if
required, but if the oil level is within the
operating range and the oil pressure is
still low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Metric
EnglishThis gauge shows the engine coolant
temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard the
vehicle is working. During a majority of the
operation, the gauge will read 100 °C (210 °F)
or less. If the vehicle is pulling a load or
going up hills, it is normal for the
temperature to fluctuate and approach the
122 °C (250 °F) mark. If the gauge reaches
the 125 °C (260 °F) mark, it indicates that the
cooling system is working beyond its
capacity.
See
Engine Overheating 0194.

80 Instruments and Controls
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly
when the engine is started. It provides
information about tire pressures and
the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the tires
are significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire
pressure message may also display. Stop as
soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeTire Pressure
0 217.
When the Light Flashes First and Then Is On
Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute and
then stays on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected, the light will come on at every ignition
cycle. See
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 218.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. Driving with the
engine oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil
level as soon as possible. Add oil if
required, but if the oil level is within the
operating range and the oil pressure is
still low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as the
engine is started. If it does not come on,
have the vehicle serviced by your dealer. If the light comes on and stays on, it means
that oil is not flowing through the engine
properly. The vehicle could be low on oil
and might have some other system
problem. See your dealer.
Low Fuel Warning Light
English Shown, Metric Similar
A Low Fuel Warning Light near the fuel
gauge comes on briefly when the ignition is
turned on as a check to show it is working.
It also comes on, and a chime sounds when
the fuel gauge indicator nears empty. The
light turns off when fuel is added. If it does
not, have the vehicle serviced.

Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3: Press this button to scroll through
the following menu items:
Odometer
Press
3until XX km (mi) displays. This
display shows the distance the vehicle has
been driven in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi).
Trip Odometers
Press
3until A or B displays. This
display shows the current distance traveled
in either kilometers (km) or miles (mi) since
the last reset for each trip odometer. Both
trip odometers can be used at the
same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero
separately by pressing
Vwhile the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature called the
retro-active reset. This can be used to set
the trip odometer to the number of
kilometers (miles) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be used if the
trip odometer is not reset at the beginning
of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature, press
and hold
Vfor at least four seconds. The
trip odometer will display the number of
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) driven since
the ignition was last turned on and the
vehicle was moving. Once the vehicle begins
moving, the trip odometer will accumulate
mileage. For example, if the vehicle was
driven 8 km (5 miles) before it is started
again, and then the retro-active reset feature
is activated, the display will show 8 km
(5 miles). As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 8.1 km
(5.1 miles), 8.2 km (5.2 miles), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated
after the vehicle is started, but before it
begins moving, the display will show the
number of kilometers (km) or miles (mi) that
were driven during the last ignition cycle.
