Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
This system has a range of about 3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in
range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry
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 or
resynchronization 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.Operation
Remote Driver's Door and All Door Unlock
When you press UNLOCK on the remote lock control
transmitter, only the driver's door will unlock. If you
press UNLOCK again within five seconds, all the doors
and the liftgate will unlock. If you would like all the
doors to unlock the first time you press UNLOCK, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in
the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Content
Theft
-Deterrent system, the UNLOCK button on the
remote lock control transmitter will disarm the system.
See ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for
more details.

control transmitter (see ªPower Door Locksº in the
Index for more details on the power door lock features).

system. See ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for
more details.

You can operate the power sliding door with the remote
transmitter only when the power sliding door override
switch on the overhead console is disabled.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote lock control 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.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote lock
control 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 transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.Replacing the Battery in the Remote Transmitter
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.
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the
side of the transmitter and twist to separate
the halves.
