Smart Entry System Battery Strength

If the beeper sounds, the To Start, Hold Remote Near Start Button message
appears on the driver information interface, and the indicator on the POWER
button flashes, and the READY indicator does not come on. Turn on the power
system as follows:
1. Touch the center of the POWER button
with the A logo on the keyless access
remote while the indicator on the
POWER button is flashing. The buttons
on the keyless access remote should be
facing you.
The POWER button flashes for about 30
seconds.
2. Depress the brake pedal and press the
POWER button within 10 seconds after
the beeper sounds and the POWER
button changes from flashing to on.
If you do not depress the pedal, the mode will change to ACCESSORY.

2. Connect the first jumper cable to your
vehicle's jump start box (+) terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the first
jumper cable to the booster battery (+)
terminal.
If you use a booster battery, only use a
12-volt booster battery.
When using an automotive battery
charger, select a charging voltage
lower than 15-volt. Check the charger
manual for the proper setting.
4. Connect the second jumper cable to the
booster battery (-) terminal.
5. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the engine mounting
bolt (as shown). Do not connect this
jumper cable to any other part.
6. If your vehicle is connected to another
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle's
engine and increase its rpm slightly.
7. Attempt to start your vehicle's engine. If
it turns over slowly, make sure that the
jumper cables have good metal-to-
metal contact.
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so
that they do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be careful not to
tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable ends to touch each other while
attaching or detaching the jumper cables.
Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and may prevent the engine
from starting.

What to Do After the Engine Starts

Once your vehicle's engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the
following order:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle's ground.
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (-)
terminal.
3. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle's battery (+) terminal.
