NO FOBS DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle
does not detect the presence of a
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter when you have
attempted to start the vehicle or a
vehicle door has just closed. The
following conditions may cause this
message to appear.
.Driver-added equipment plugged
into the accessory power outlet
on the center console is causing
interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell
phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the RKE transmitter
away from these devices when
starting the vehicle. In addition,
PDA devices and remote garage
and gate openers may also
generate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) that may
interfere with the RKE
transmitter. Do not carry the
RKE transmitter in the same
pocket or bag as these devices.
.The vehicle is experiencing
Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some
locations, such as airports,
automatic toll booths, and some
gas stations have EMI fields
which may interfere with the
RKE transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to
different locations within the
vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box
transmitter pocket with the
buttons facing to the right and
then press the START button.

Lighting 6-7
Battery Power Protection
This vehicle has a feature to help
prevent the battery from being
drained in case any of the following
lamps are left on: the underhood
lamp, if your vehicle has this
feature, vanity mirror lamps, cargo
lamps, reading lamps, center
console, or glove box lamps. If any
of these lamps are left on, they will
automatically time-out after about
10 minutes. To reset it, all of the
above lamps must be turned off or
the ignition key on.
Exterior Lighting Battery
Saver
If the manual parking lamps or
headlamps have been left on, the
exterior lamps will turn off as soon
as the ignition is turned off or
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is
active. This protects against
draining the battery in case you
have accidentally left the headlamps
or parking lamps on. The batterysaver does not work if the
headlamps are turned on after the
ignition switch is turned to off.
If you need to leave the lamps on,
use the exterior lamp control to turn
the lamps back on.
