2. Remove and replace the batteries. Avoid touching the
new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause
battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with
rubbing alcohol.
3. To reassemble the RKE transmitter case, snap the two
halves together.
NOTE: If the RKE transmitter is equipped with a screw,
reinstall and tighten the screw until snug.
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Remote Starting
System (automatic transmission models only), which will
allow the vehicle to be started from distances up to
approximately 300 ft (91 m) away from the vehicle using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter which is part
of your ignition key.
In order to remote start your vehicle, the hood, swing
gate, and all the doors must be closed.
To remote start your vehicle, press the REMOTE START
button on the RKE transmitter twice within five seconds.
To indicate that the vehicle is about to start, the parking
lights will flash and the horn will sound briefly (if
programmed).
