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.
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.
I NOTICE: I
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.
I. Use the round end of the door key or a coin to pry
open the transmitter.

~
Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START for about three seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then
stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way
to the
floor and holding
it there as you hold the key in
START for about three seconds.
If the vehicle starts
briefly but then
stops again, do the same thing.
I NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in your vehicle.
If you add electrical
parts
or accessories, you could change the way
the engine operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t,
your engine might
not perform properly.

Press the AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon (AVG MPG). You can also display it in
metric units by pressing the
ENGMET button.
When AVG MPG
is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used.
When the INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected. you will see what the fuel economy is at that
instant. The computer takes
a new reading twice every
second.
It will show economy up to 70 miles-per-gallon
(or 2 L per- 100 ltm).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG MPG is
displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the
RESET button
until both the fuel data center and DIC display reads
0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does
not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so the range is estimated
based on
the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change
as your driving habits change.
Going from city
to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon
as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the RANGE reading to work. The
DIC display gives you the
status of many of your
vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display driver
personalization features and warninghtatus messages.
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
features that can be individually customized for up
to two drivers.
