2-8 Operation
When you press this button to unlock the driver's
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will flash twice.
(You can program your vehicle so the parking lamps
will not flash. For more information, see ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index.) Pressing this button again within one to five
seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing this button
will also disarm the theft
-deterrent system and turn on
the interior lamps at night.
When you press this button to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will flash once and the horn will sound
once. (You can program your vehicle so the parking
lamps will not flash and/or the horn will not sound.
For more information, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.) This also arms
the theft
-deterrent system when the ignition is turned off.
Press this button to open the trunk. (The valet lock
switch must be in the OFF position.)
Press this button to open the fuel door. (The valet
lock switch must be in the OFF position.)
The numbers on the back of the RKE transmitter
correspond to Driver 1 and Driver 2. See ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Features º in the Index.Remote confirmation is not operational if any door
is open.
The RKE transmitter can also be used to recall the
memory seats for up to two drivers. For more
information, seeªMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheelº in the Index.
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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your 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.
2-10 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 sound 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.
Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

Theft-Deterrent System
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will
flash, reminding you to
arm the system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system. The SECURITY light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should
go off within approximately 30 seconds.
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 RKE 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 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 after the doors are closed if
you don't want to arm the theft
-deterrent system.
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 on 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.
2-15 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.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver's
door with your key, using the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter or by starting the car with a valid key.
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 ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
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
theft
-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lock
This switch is located inside the glove box on the left
side. Pressing this switch to ON will disable the use of
the trunk, fuel door and garage door opener.
Pressing this switch to
OFF will enable these

Locking the glove box with your key will also help to
secure your vehicle. Note that the RKE transmitter can't
open the trunk or fuel door if the valet lock switch is in
the ON position.
