NOTE
For models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”:
In the event that the vehicle’s battery is
replaced, discharged or disconnected,
it will be necessary to start the vehicle
a minimum of one time using the key
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. This is required to allow
the vehicle electronic systems to re-
synchronize.
!Changing the batteries
CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
.Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery..Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.
.There is a danger of explosion if
an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.
.Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system:
Perform the procedure described in“Re-
placing battery of access key”F11-50.
For models without“keyless access
