The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door will also unlock.
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with the trunk
symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned to the
OFF position. If the ignition is on, the trunk button will
only work if the transmission is in PARK
(P) for an
automatic transmission, or if the parking brake is set
on
a manual transmission.
The system will turn
on the interior lamps for about
40 seconds (or until the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position), when you unlock the doors
or hatch.
The interior lamps will go
off when you lock the doors.
Operating the Remote Lock Control transmitter may
interact with the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrentlAlarm
System (if
you have this option). See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentlAlarm System” in the Index.
Alarm/Panic Mode
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System,
you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button.
If you are involved in a panic situation, press this button and
your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash,
This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will
not work if your
ignition
is on or if the transmitter is 30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do
the following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If
so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
2. While close to your vehicle, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons
on your transmitter at the same
time and hold for eight seconds. This will attempt to
match your Remote Lock Control transmitter and the
transmitter receiver security
codes.
3. If neither Steps 1 or 2 is successful, your transmitter
may need to be matched to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arming the System
The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by
locking your vehicle using the Remote Lock Control
transmitter or by locking the doors with the power door
lock switch. Passive arming is also available, if
you
would like the system to arm all by itself after the doors
have been closed for a
short time. When the system is
armed, a red light will flash briefly once every two
seconds. (Note: If you return to your vehicle and the red
light is flashing two brief flashes every two seconds, the
system is armed and the shock sensor had triggered a
two minute alarm. If the red light is flashing three times
every two seconds, the system
is armed and there was an
intrusion that sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and
parking lamp flashes can
be set to your choice.
Remote Lock Control Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle this way
will immediately arm the system. The horn will chirp
twice and the parking lamps will flash, confirming that
the system is armed.
If any door is open when the
transmitter LOCK button is pressed, the system goes
into an armed wait mode, waiting for the doors
to close.
Once they are closed, the system will arm, chirp the
horns twice and flash the parking lamps.
If the hatch is
open or ajar at the time the system is arming, the horn
will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they
are closed, the
system will arm and flash the parking lamps.
If all of the
doors are closed when the lock switch
is pressed, the
system assumes you are inside of the vehicle,
so it will
not arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual
door locks will not arm the system.
Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after all doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait
30 seconds after all doors are
closed before arming, allowing you time to get into the
vehicle and the key in the ignition. The parking lamps
will flash when the system arms.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Lock
Control transmitter,
OR if the horn chirps two or
three times when
you unlock the car, the alarm
sounded in your absence. Two chirps means that
the shock sensor was set
off and three chirps means

feature. Press 2ND GEAR START

traction when you are starting
on ice or other slippery
surfaces.
The 2ND gear light on the cluster will
illuminate when 2nd gear start is selected. The
transmission will be in SECOND (2) gear when the
vehicle begins to move. After starting in SECOND

the vehicle will upshift normally.
This feature is
only for improved traction when the road
surface is slippery and
is not intended for continuous
use. Always use NORMAL for normal road conditions.
You may press 2ND GEAR START again to turn off this
feature. Whenever you start your vehicle, the
transmission
is in the NORMAL mode.

additional traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It

the limited-slip feature will allow the wheel
with
traction to move the vehicle.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down and
