Operation
The driver’s door will unlock and the interior lamps will
go on when the unlock symbol is pressed (see
“Illuminated Entry System” later in this section). If
pressed again within five seconds, all doors and the
liftgate will unlock. All doors and the liftgate will lock
when the lock symbol is pressed.
If the driver’s door
is open and your key is in the
ignition in the OFF position, you
won’t be able to set the
door lock with
the power door lock switch or the remote
transmitter. This security feature is designed to help
keep you from locking your keys in your vehicle.
Lock Delay
The lock delay feature can be operated using either the
remote key chain transmitter or the power door lock
switch (see “Power Door Locks” earlier in this section). For the lock delay feature to work, the ignition and the
interior lamps control (located to
the left of the instrument
panel cluster) must be
off. If you wish to lock the doors
with the interior lamps on, press the lock symbol or the
rear
of either power door lock switch twice.
If any door is open when you press the lock symbol or
the rear of either power door lock switch, a chime will
sound three times. This indicates that all doors and the
liftgate will lock about five seconds after the last door
has been closed.
To override the lock delay feature, press the lock symbol
or the rear of either power door lock switch again, and
the doors and liftgate will lock immediately. If the
sliding door is open,
it will lock automatically within
five seconds after it is closed.
To cancel the lock delay feature, press the unlock
symbol or the front of either power door lock switch.

If you have the optional power sliding door (see “Power
Sliding Door” later
in this section), your remote
transmitter will have
a third button that has a van
symbol on
it. Press it to open or close the sliding door.
If the sliding door is locked, first press the unlock
symbol twice to unlock all doors, then press the van
symbol
to open the sliding door.
You can operate the power sliding door with
the remote
transmitter only when the power sliding door
ON/OFF
switch on the overhead console is in the ON position.
atchin- n-.smitter(s) To Your Vehicle -
Each
key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your retailer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your retailer.
When
the retailer matches the replacement transmitter to
your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only four transmitters matched to it.
n 1tt acement
Under-normal use, the battery in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.

Illuminated Entry System (Option)
This option comes with the optional Remote Lock

When
you open the driver’s door (by itself or in
combination with any passenger door or
the liftgate) the
interior lamps will come on and then gradually dim to
off, 10 seconds after the last door is closed. (If the
driver’s door has not been opened, the interior lamps
will immediately dim to off.)
When you press the unlock symbol on your remote
transmitter, the lamps inside your vehicle will go on,
then gradually dim to off after about
40 seconds, unless
a door or the liftgate is opened.
