Replacing the batteries
The keyless entry keypad uses one coin-type three-volt lithium battery
(Service Part Number 3L2W-19G545–A). This replacement battery is only

top cover. Pull the cover off by pulling to the left and then up. The top
cover and the internal components of the keypad will come off the
vehicle and the back cover will remain mounted to the vehicle.
2. Remove the internal components of the keypad from the top cover
and place the top cover on a soft surface to avoid scratching the
decorative finish.Note:Donotremove the silicone rubber membrane
from the rest of the electronics.
3. Insert the screwdriver into one of the two slots on the metal battery
holder, located on either side of the (+) indicator. The battery will then
slide out enough to obtain with your fingers.
4. Remove the old battery from the
unit and replace it with a new
battery, ensuring that the (+)
indicator is properly aligned
properly and seated completely
inside the battery holder.
5. Replace the keypad internal
components back inside the top
cover.Note:Ensure the screwdriver
slot is located next to the 9•0
keypad.
6. Hold the top cover and the internal components together, align the
unit with the back cover mounted on the vehicle, and press the two
pieces together. Run your finger around the perimeter of the keypad to
ensure it is properly seated.
7. Press the 7•8 and the 9•0 controls simultaneously to lock the
vehicle and to verify the keypad is functioning properly.
Note:Replacement of the battery willnotcause the remote keyless
keypad to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote keyless
keypad should operate normally after battery replacement.

lever to be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake pedal
being depressed.
When the key is in the ignition and in the OFF position, the
automatic transmission shift lever can be moved from the P
(Park) position without the brake pedal depressed. To avoid unwanted
vehicle movement, always set the parking brake.
4. ON, all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key
position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This
system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, don’t press the accelerator before
or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have difficulty
starting the engine. For more information on starting the vehicle, refer to
Starting the enginein this chapter.
