Resynchronization
Pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times
(approximately
250 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not
to work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons out
of
range will also cause the transmitter not to work. If only
the fuel door button works, the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver.
Do this by pressing and
holding both the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
transmitter for about eight seconds. You must be within
range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn
will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The
system should now operate properly. See your dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
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. Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only
up to
four transmitters matched to it.
All transmitters must be present when replacement or additional transmitters are being programmed.

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.
I 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.

If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there
are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so
don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you. Always do this.
Your ignition and transaxle will be locked. And
remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.

If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.
Put your valuables in
a storage area, like your
trunk or glove
box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.
Close all windows.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.
SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will
flash, reminding you to
arm the system.
2-14

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch or
the RKE system with the door open. The
SECURITY light should come on and stay on.
off within approximately
30 seconds.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
When the theft system activates, the horn will sound and
the lamps will flash for about
30 seconds when the door
or trunk is opened without the key or RISE system.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t arm if you
lock the doors with a key or use the manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch with
the door open or the
RKE system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock switch
after the doors are
closed
if you don’t want to arm the theft-deterrent
system.
0 Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
system. (Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.)
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk is opened. If you
activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
using the unlock button
of the RKE system, or by
starting the car with
a valid key.
Changes or modifications made to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the RKE
system and close the door. Wait
30 seconds until the
SECURITY lamp goes
off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
hazard lights will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always
arm the optional
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

PASS-Key' 111
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I11
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
111 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you don't have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert
or remove the key from the ignition. Your PASS-Key
I11 system 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.
PASS-Key
111 uses a radio frequency transponder in the
key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
111 system senses that someone is
using
the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method
to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the key to four different positions:
OFF: This position lets you
turn
off the engine and
remove the key. It doesn’t
lock the steering wheel.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
- ~
ACC: This position lets you use things like the radio and
the windshield wipers when the engine is
off. Use ACC if
you must have your vehicle in motion while
the engine is
off (for example, if your vehicle is being pushed).
