&California proposition 65 warning
WARNING
Engine exhaust, some of its consti-
tuents, and certain vehicle compo-
nents contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids in vehicles and
certain components of product wear
contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
& California Perchlorate Advi- sory
Certain vehicle components such as air-
bag modules, seatbelt pretensioners and
keyless entry transmitter batteries may
contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. &
On-road and off-road driving
This vehicle is classified as a utility
vehicle. Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. Your vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and higher center of gravity,
making it more likely to roll over than
ordinary passenger cars. It also handles
and maneuvers differently from other
passenger cars. For this reason, please
read carefully the following section and
follow the instructions and precautions in
order to prevent serious injury or death
due to loss of control, rollover and other
accidents. Refer to “On-road and off-road
driving ”F 8-6. 9

This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject
Page 112 of 420
to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
The transmitter for the remote keyless
entry system is located inside the keyhead.
The remote keyless entry system has the
following functions. . Locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate without a key. Unlocking the rear gate without key
. Sounding a panic alarm
. Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. For detailed information, refer to “ Alarm system ”F 2-16.
The operable distance of the remote
keyless entry system is approximately 30
feet (10 meters). However, this distance
will vary depending on environmental conditions.
The system ’s operable distance will be
shorter in areas near a facility or electronic equipment emitting strong radio waves
such as a power plant, broadcast station,
TV tower, or remote controller of home
electronic appliances.
NOTE
The remote keyless entry system does
not operate when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition switch or when
any of the doors or the rear gate is not
fully closed.

2. Open the key head using a flat-head
screwdriver.
3. Remove the transmitter case from the
key head.
4. Open the transmitter case by releasing
the hooks.
5. Remove the old battery from the
holder.
1) Negative ( ) side facing up 6. Replace with a new battery (Type CR1620
or equivalent) making sure to
install the new battery with the negative( ) side facing up.
7. Put together the transmitter case by
fitting the hooks on both sides of the case.
8. Put the transmitter case in the key
head and then put together the key head.
9. Reinstall the screw on the key head.
After the battery is replaced, the trans-
mitter must be synchronized with the
remote keyless entry system ’s control
unit. Press either the “
”or “”button
six times to synchronize the unit. & Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to
purchase additional transmitters (up to
four can be programmed), you should re-
program all of your transmitters for secur-
ity reasons. It is recommended that you
have your dealer program all of your
transmitters into your system. ! Programming the transmitters
The remote keyless entry system is
equipped with a special code learning
feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to
delete old ones. The system can learn up
to four unique transmitter codes. The four
transmitter codes may be the same or
Page 116 of 420
different.
Programming transmitter codes into system:
Key tag
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the remote keyless entry system, it is neces-
sary to program the transmitter
’s code
(identification number) into the system. A
tag showing the code is affixed to the key
unit, and another is affixed to the circuit
board inside the transmitter. If there is no
tag, open the transmitter case and make a
note of the eight-digit number. Program
the number into the system in accordance
with the following procedure.
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate.
2. Open the driver ’s door, sit on the
driver ’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds.(1) Open and close the driver ’s door
once.
1) LOCK
2) ON
(2) Insert the key into the ignition
switch, then turn it from the “LOCK ”
position to the “ON ”position 10 times
within 15 seconds.
NOTE . When you complete step (2), an
electronic tone will sound once, a
buzzer will continue to sound and the
interior light will continue to flash until
the transmitter codes are completelyregistered.. If you do not perform steps (1) and
(2) within 45 seconds, an error will
occur. Neither an electronic tone nor
the buzzer will sound, and the interior
lamp will not flash. In this event, per- Keys and doors
2-13

Page 118 of 420
NOTE .When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.. If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds 5
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops
sounding, use the power door locking
switch to reenter the transmitter code
beginning with the leftmost digit. NOTE
If you do not start entering the number
using the lock knob before the electro-
nic tone stops sounding, an error will
occur. In this event, perform the proce-
dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for 1 second and automatic door
locking and unlocking operation will take
place once to indicate completion of
registration, provided the code entered
the second time is identical to that entered
the first time. NOTE
If the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed into
the system), perform the procedure begin-
ning with part 4. When you have finished
programming all of the necessary trans-
mitter codes into the system, remove the
key from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation. !
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keyless
entry system has four memory locations to
store transmitter codes, giving it the ability
to operate with up to four transmitters.
When you lose a transmitter, the losttransmitter ’s code remains in the memory.
For security reasons, lost transmitter
codes should be deleted from the mem-
ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one
twice. If you have three current transmit-
ters, program two of them once and the
third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in thesystem
’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle. Keys and doors
