A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and
fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
I
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
You can use the Keyless Entry System,
if you have
this option. You
can use your key to unlock your door from
the outside.
To lock your door from the inside, slide the lever on
your inside door rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the

When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s door and endgate will unlock automatically.
If you press
UNLOCK again within five seconds, all doors will
unlock. Press
LOCK to lock all the doors.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should
last about two years.
Press the REAR button twice within
3 1/2 seconds to
unlock and unlatch
the rear glass. If your vehicle has
an automatic transmission, the transmission must be
in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
If your vehicle has
a manual transmission, you must engage the
parking brake.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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 dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters
with you when you go to your
dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched
to it.
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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does
not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording
and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least
five seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
synchronization.
If the locks do not cycle,
