If you ever notice a decrease in the remote keyless entry
transmitter range, try doing one of the following:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.

Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

Check to make sure that an electronic device such
as a cellular phone or lap top computer is not
causing interference.

Try to resynchronize the transmitter. See
ªResynchronizing Your Transmitterº in this section.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.Operation

Battery Replacement

entry transmitter should last about 18 months.
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.

Blank Page
There is a blank page at the end of the OPTIONS menu.
When the blank page is displayed, you can access the
following items:
FOB TRAINING: This option allows you to match
the RKE transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access
this option by pressing and holding RESET for three
seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your
Vehicleº in the Index for more information.
TIRE TRAINING: The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
operates with battery
-powered sensors that are located
inside the valve stems on each tire. Each sensor has a
unique ID code so the vehicle knows the tire location of
the sensor. When the vehicle reaches a speed of greater
than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors begin to send the
tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle.
These readings are displayed when using the GAGES
button on the DIC. If you are unable to display your tire
pressures while the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph
(24 km/h), you may need to have your sensor ID codes
learned by the vehicle. See your dealer.

the DIC display. The DIC display area is located in the
