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.
rhere are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.

I
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
from about
30 feet (9 m)
away using the
RKE
transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your
RKE system is intended to be used as a
supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to
replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with, a
door lock key.
It 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
30 feet (9 m). At times
you may notice
a decrease in range. This is normal for
any
RKE system. If the transmitter does not work or if
you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the
transmitter
to work, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
If you’re still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

see “Memory Seat and Mirrors”
in the Index.
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.
