Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Alardanic Mode
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System, you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button. If you are involved in a panic situation, press
this button and your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle.
To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will not work if your
ignition is on or if the transmitter is
30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Transmitter Range
The range of your keyless entry system should be about
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in the
range. This is normal for any keyless entry system. If
the transmitter does not work, or you have to stand
closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to work:
0 You may have to replace the battery in your transmitter.
See the instructions for battery replacement.
0 You may be too far from your vehicle. Check your
distance. You may have to stand closer to your
vehicle in rain or snow.
You may have to synchronize your transmitter to
the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
0 You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.
If none of the above apply, see your dealer or
qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the keyless entry 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 recoding and
playing back the signal from the transmitter. To
resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
0 While standing close to your vehicle, at the same
time press and hold the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons
on the transmitter for about eight seconds.
The door
locks should cycle and the parking lamps should
flash to confirm synchronization. If
this does not
happen, you may need to replace the battery in your
transmitter or match the transmitter to vour vehicle.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal, Take a few steps to the right or left.

This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
keyless entry transmitter that a command has been
received by the keyless entry receiver. The parking
lamps will flash
on every lock and unlock command and
the horn will sound only if the
LOCK button is pressed
twice within five seconds. This allows for silent
operation
of locking and unlocking, unless a confirming
horn chirp is desired. Other options may be selected for
this feature (see “Feature Customization” in the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each 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 four transmitters matched to
it.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready for the
next steps.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN, then to OFF. This
will disarm the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrenVAlann System (if your vehicle
has
this option).
2. Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
main fuse block which is located on the left side
of
your main instrument panel. When the fuse block is
open the radio fuse is located on the lower right hand
corner of your instrument panel. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index.
3. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN three times
quickly (within five seconds). The vehicle will
respond by locking the doors, unlocking the driver’s
doors and releasing the hatch. Your transmitter is
now ready to match the vehicle.
4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the first transmitter for
15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as in Step
3.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.

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 steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic transmission, taking
your key out also locks your transmission. 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.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arming the System
The alarm system can be
armed to detect break-ins
by locking your vehicle
using the keyless entry or
by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch.
Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with
the transmitter will immediately arm the system. The
horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash,
confirming that the system is armed.
If any door is open
when the transmitter
LOCK button is pressed, the
system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the
doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, the horn chirps twice and the parking lamps will
flash. If the hatch
is open or ajar at the time the system
is arming,
the horn will only chirp once.
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to
arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system
is armed, a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note: If
you return to your vehicle and the red light
is flashing
two brief flashes every two seconds, the system is armed
and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm.
If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds,
the system
is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm.) Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed,
the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and the parking lamps will flash. If both
of the doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed,
the system assumes you are inside the vehicle,
so it will
not arm. Note: Locking the doors
by using the manual
door locks will not
arm the system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after both doors are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait
30 seconds after both doors
are closed before arming, allowing you time to get into
the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms. Passive arming
is not enabled from the factory.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry
transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three times
when you unlock the car, the alarm sounded in your
absence. Two chirps means that the shock sensor
was set off and three chirps means that a door or the
hatch was opened.
2. Turn the ignition to RUN with the proper key.
For more information on customizing the features
mentioned here, see “Feature Customization” in
the Index.
’Ibrning Off the Alarm
If you started the alarm by pressing the panic button on
the keyless entry transmitter, you must either push that button again
or turn the ignition switch to
RUN to stop
the alarm.
If the alarm is sounding due to the shock sensor
or a
door or hatch opening, it can be turned off by either
turning the ignition switch with
a proper key inserted or
by pressing any button on the keyless entry transmitter.
If you use your keyless entry transmitter to silence the
alarm, additional things will happen depending upon
which button you press.

key was used, press any button on the keyless entry
transmitter to turn the alarm off.
