With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
open the trunk and unlock
the fuel door from about
10 feet (3m) away using the
remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry transmitter operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with
RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1 ) this device may not cause interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that
may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization
to
use this equipment.
The range of this system is about
10 feet (3 m). At times
you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for
any remote keyless entry transmitter. If the transmitter
does not work or if
you have to stand closer to your
vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter not
to work.
Replacing the battery and pressing the transmitter
buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause the
transmitter not to work. To reset the transmitter, you
must be within the vehicle’s operating range. Press and
hold the
trunk button and, within one second, press the
lock button. Continue to hold both buttons for
approximately three seconds. See your dealer for service
if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter@) 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. 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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four 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.
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.
