Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter not
to work.
Replacing the battery and pressing the transmitter
buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause the
transmitter not to work. To reset the transmitter, you
must be within the vehicle’s operating range. Press and
hold the
trunk button and, within one second, press the
lock button. Continue to hold both buttons for
approximately three seconds. See your dealer for service
if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter@) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per
hour (rnph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The
odometer shows how
far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer tells how far you have driven since
you last reset it. To set it to zero, press the knob located
below the speedometer on the instrument cluster.
m RPM x 1000
This gage indicates the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area
or engine damage may occur.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute
(rpm). When the engine’s
rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine
is
shut off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel supply
will come on again. This helps prevent damage to
the engine.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
