Smart Entry System Battery Strength

If the battery life in your remote transmitter is weak, a message appears in the
display with information on how to start the engine.
1. Touch the back of the remote
transmitter to the ENGINE START/STOP
button while the indicator is flashing.
2. With the brake pedal or clutch pedal
pressed, press the ENGINE START/
STOP button within 10 seconds.
When you carry the remote transmitter (for
example, in a pocket or purse) and it is
outside the vehicle and within range (about 32 inches or 80 cm), you can lock or
unlock the doors without handling the transmitter.

Jump Starting

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the
engine, then open the hood.
1. Push the tabs to open the jump start box
cover.
Connect the first jumper cable to your
vehicle's battery (+) terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first
jumper cable to the booster battery (+)
terminal. Use a 12-volt booster battery
only.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the
booster battery (-) terminal.

4. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the engine hanger as
shown. Do not connect this jumper
cable to any other part.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle's
engine and increase its rpm slightly.
6. Attempt to start your vehicle's engine. If
it turns over slowly, make sure that the
jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.

Overheating

Signs your engine is overheating:
• The temperature gauge needle is at the H mark
• The engine suddenly loses power
• Steam or spray comes out from under the hood
• The message Engine Temperature Too Hot appears on the display
First thing to do:
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe
place. Turn off all accessories and turn
on the hazard warning lights.
2. If no steam or spray is present: Keep
the vehicle running and open the hood
(See Under the Hood).
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the
engine and wait until it subsides. Then,
open the hood (See Under the Hood).
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the
temperature gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.
