9 volt) battery.
If the vehicle has an uncharged
battery or a batter y with low voltage,
try charging or jump starting the
battery. See Jump Starting 0 303 for
more information.

be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.

If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
outside the vehicle, it will turn off
after one hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will turn off after
two hours.
The vehicle could turn off sooner if it
is parked on a hill, due to lack of
available fuel.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is
taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
