Remote Alarm
When you press the alarm button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the headlamps will flash, the horn will
sound repeatedly and the interior lamps will illuminate.

The driver presses the alarm button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter a second time,
The ignition is turned to ON or
An alarm of 110 seconds has elapsed.
Remote Activation Verification (RAV)
This feature helps provide an audible and/or visible feedback
that a remote keyless entry lock or unlock command has been
received and executed. The vehicle must be
off for the
Remote Activation Verification to work.
You may select one of four operating modes for the reception
of a lock command.
You may also select one of four
operating modes for the reception of an unlock command.
The selection and programming of the lock and unlock
modes are independent of each other. The following modes
are available for either lock or unlock verification:
Mode 1: No Verification
Mode 2: Horn Chirp only The operating
mode
of the Remote Activation
Verification Lock (RAV Lock) feature will be changed
when the driver performs the following sequence with
the doors closed and the ignition key is in
ON:
1. Press and hold down the power door lock switch in
the lock position.
2. While holding the door lock switch, press and
release the
RKE transmitter lock switch. This button
press will initialize the customization mode. Upon initiation of this mode, the chime will sound the
number of chimes corresponding to the current
RAV lock mode.
Each additional press of the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter lock switch will cause the vehicle to
increment the RAV lock mode by one, starting from the
current RAV lock mode. If cycled beyond RAV lock
mode
4, the vehicle shall enter RAV lock mode 1. When
the door lock switch is released, the vehicle will remain
in the most recent RAV lock mode.

Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change the programmed mode of the Remote Activation
Verification functions.
Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The interior illumination
will be activated when an
RKE door unlock command
is received. The ignition must be off for the Remote
Activation Illumination to work. The interior lamps will
illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON
or until the
illumination period of
40 seconds has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be canceled, though the
interior lamps will remain
on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) 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 retailer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you
go to your
retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your retailer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two 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.

To replace your battery:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the
back
of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front
and back.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter.
Put the new battery into the transmitter as shown
on
the transmitter (use a type CR2032 battery).
Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly
so water won’t get in.
Resynchronize and then test the transmitter.
Resynchronizing Your Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
After you have changed the battery in your keyless
entry transmitter, you will need to resynchronize the
transmitter.
To do this, press the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons together and hold for approximately seven
seconds (or until the horn chirps three times). You will
need to use this procedure
if your vehicle has lost
battery power for an extended period
of time.

Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off and
0 The parking brake is released.
When the
DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on.
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your headlamps and parking
lamps will turn on.
When it’s bright enough outside, your headlamps will
go
off and your front turn signal lamps will come on.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in
OFF. Then start your
vehicle. The DRL, headlamps and parking lamps will
stay off until
you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
To turn the fog lamps on,
press the fog lamp switch.
A light will glow on the
switch
to let you know that
they are on. (Your parking
lamps must be on, or your
fog lamps won’t come on.)
Press the switch again to
turn the fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will go
off whenever you change to
high-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog lamps will come on again.

Mirrors
Adjust all mirrors so you can see clearly when you are
sitting in
a comfortable position.
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps behind you, push the
lever away from you (to the night position).
To return
the mirror back to the day position, pull the lever
toward you.
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview
Mirror with Compass
and Map Lamps
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
dayhight rearview mirror with a compass and
map lamps. This
mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind
you. A time delay feature prevents
rapid changing from the day to night positions while
driving under lights and through traffic.

Are you low on fuel? Oil Warning Light
As your engine starts to run out of fuel, your engine may
not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts of
air are sucked into the
fuel line causing a misfire. The
system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this
condition. Make sure to install the
fuel cap properly. It
will take a few driving trips
to turn the light off.
Have
you recently changed brands of fuel?
If
so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel (see
“Fuel”
in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not
to run as efficiently as designed. You may
notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put
the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation
on acceleration
or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may go
away once the engine is warmed up.) This will be
detected by the system and cause the light to turn on.
If you experience one or more
of these conditions,
change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one
full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
If none
of the above steps have made the light turn off,
have your retailer
or qualified service center check the
vehicle. Your retailer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to
fix any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed. If
you have a problem with
your oil, this light may stay
on after you start your
engine, or come on when
you are driving.
This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could
be low on oil or could have some other oil problem.
Have
it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come on
in three
other situations:
When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come
on as a test to show you it is
working, but
the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to START.
If it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with
the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and off. This is normal.
