Make sure the climate control sys-
tem is off.
Start the engine and let it run until
it warms up (the radiator cooling
fan comes on at least twice), and
let it idle for five more minutes.
If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the engine’s computer
needs to ‘‘relearn’’ the idle control.
After replacing or recharging the
battery:
Your driver’s power window (see
page
) and your audio system
will also disable itself when the bat-
tery is disconnected or goes dead.
The next time you turn on the radio
you will see ‘‘
’’ in the frequency
display. Use the Preset buttons to en-
ter the five-digit code (see page
).
If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, all stored driving
positions will be lost. To store the
driving positions again, see the
storing procedure on page
.
The Navigation System will also
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the ignition switch, the system
will require you to enter a PIN
before it can be used. Refer to the
Navigation System Owner’s Manual.
