Operation
The driver’s door will unlock when UNLOCK is
pressed. The fuel door
will also unlock when UNLOCK
is pressed, if you have the optional fuel door lock.
If
UNLOCK is pressed again within five seconds, all
doors
will unlock. Pressing the UNLOCK button will
also illuminate the interior lamps. See “Illuminated
Entry”
in the index.
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The
trunk will unlock when the trunk symbol is pressed
when
the ignition is OFF. The trunk symbol will
also work when the ignition is on, but only while
in
PARK (P).
Instant Alarm
When the button with the horn symbol on the key
transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound and the
headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to one minute.
This can be turned off by pressing the instant alarm
button again or by turning the ignition to
ON. If your
vehicle is equipped with the Universal Theft-Deterrent
feature, you may also turn
off the alarm by unlocking
the vehicle with a key. See “Universal Theft-Deterrent”
in the Index.
Resynchronization
If only the instant alarm button works, the rransmitter
needs to be resynchronized to the receiver.
Do this by
pressing and holding both the
LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons at the same time for about eight seconds. You
must be within range of the vehicle.
When the system has been resynchronized, the horn
will
chrp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The system
should now operate properly.
Personalization Features
The following list of features that are available on your
vehicle can be programmed to each driver’s preference
for
each of the key transmitters.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks: This feature
programs your door locks to automatically lock or
unlock when shifting in and out
of PARK (P).
Security Feedback: This feature provides feedback to
the driver when the vehicle receives a command from
the key transmitter.
Delayed Locking: This feature lets the driver delay the
actual locking of the vehicle. When all doors have been
closed, the doors will lock automatically after five seconds.
For more detailed information
and programming
instructions, refer to the Index for each individual
feature listed above.

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 four transmitters
matched to
it.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless entry transmitter should last about two 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 trarisrnitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
For battery replacement, use one Duracella battery, type
DL-2032, or a similar type.
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.
To replace the battery:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Insert a coin into the notch near the key ring. Turn
the coin to the left to separate the two halves of
the transmitter.
Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil eraser
to remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
Remove and replace the battery. Replace it as the
instructions inside the cover indicate.
Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
Resynchronize the transmitter by pressing and
holding the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for about
eight seconds. You,must be within range of the
vehicle. When the transmitter has been
resynchronized, the horn will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once.
2-13

If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts
off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
remote keyless entry transmitter, or if the door key
cylinders are damaged, the alarm will go
off. It will also
go
off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your vehicle’s lamps
will flash and the horn will sound for one minute, then
will go off in order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only
if you use a power door lock switch while
the door is open, or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Avoid setting
off the alarm by accident.
Always unlock
a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry system transmitter. Unlocking
a door any
other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
pressing UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm won’t stop if you
try to unlock a
door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the car, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to
go out.
4. Then, reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door.
This
should set off the alarm.
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 alarm does not sound,
or the vehicle’s lamps do
not flash, the vehicle should be serviced by an authorized service center.

accessory power is active.
In addition, each passenger
