Resynchronization

Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the remote keyless entry system.
The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to
the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal
that has been sent previously. This prevents anyone
from recording and playing back the signal from
the transmitter.

To resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver,
do the following:

1. Stand close to the vehicle.

2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons

on the transmitter at the same time for about
eight seconds.

The door locks should cycle and the interior lamps
should flash to confirm resynchronization.

If this does not happen, you may need to replace the
battery in your transmitter or match the transmitter to
your vehicle. See “Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle” in the Index.

Hatch

CAUTION:

It can be dangerous to drive with the hatch open
because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come
into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.

If you must drive with the hatch open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the hatch:
D Make sure all other windows are shut.

D Turn the fan on your heating or cooling

system to its highest speed with the setting
on vent. That will force outside air into
your vehicle. See “Comfort Controls” in
the Index.

D If you have air outlets on or under the

instrument panel, open them all the way.

See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
