GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. WARNING: Changes or
modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately
33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range. One of the following

• Weather conditions.
• Nearby radio towers.
• Structures around the vehicle.
• Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.
Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended. Note:
If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.
Note: The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.
REMOTE CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)

entry system, make sure to take all remote
controls with you to an authorized dealer in
order to aid in troubleshooting the problem.

Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the heater longer than three hours
does not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.
POLICE ENGINE IDLE FEATURE
(IF EQUIPPED)
The system allows you to leave the engine
running and prevents your vehicle from
unauthorized use when you are outside of
your vehicle. When you remove the key
from the ignition, the engine remains idling.
Switching the System On
1. With your vehicle running and the
transmission in park (P), press the
button on the instrument panel. See
Instrument Panel (page 18). A
warning lamp illuminates to confirm
the system is on. See Warning Lamps
and Indicators
(page 79). 2.
Switch the ignition off and remove the
key.
When the system is on:
• The power window switches turn off
and the windows remain in their current
state.
• The luggage compartment or liftgate
unlock switch turns off.
Note: When the system is on, you can use
the key blade or the remote control to lock
and unlock your vehicle.
Switching the System Off
• Turn the key to the run position.
• Press the button on the instrument
panel.
Note: If you switch the system off before
switching the ignition to the run position,
