Remote Lock Confirmation (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the content
theft
-deterrent system, your remote keyless entry
transmitter will have this feature.
When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to
lock your vehicle, the parking lamps will flash briefly to
let you know the command has been received. If you
press the LOCK button again, within five seconds, the
horn will sound briefly and the parking lamps will flash
to let you know the vehicle is already locked.
If you would like to change the way the parking lamps
and horn operate with remote lock confirmation, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº
in the Index.Remote Unlock Confirmation (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the content
theft-deterrent system, your remote keyless entry
transmitter will have this feature.
When you use your remote keyless entry transmitter to
unlock your vehicle or to operate the power sliding door
(if equipped), the parking lamps will flash briefly to let
you know the command was received.
If you would like to change the way the parking lamps
operate with remote unlock confirmation, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº
in the Index.
Remote Alarm (If Equipped)
When you press the horn button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the parking lamps will flash and the
horn will sound. This will allow you to attract attention,
if needed.

Remote Power Sliding Door Operation (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped
with a power sliding door
(see ªPower Sliding Doorº
later in this section),
your remote transmitter
will have a button that has
a van symbol on it.
Press it to open or close
the sliding door.
If the sliding door is locked, first unlock all doors
(see ªRemote Driver's Door and All Door Unlockº
earlier in this section), then press the van symbol to
open the sliding door. Press the van symbol again to
close the sliding door.
You can operate the power sliding door with the remote
transmitter only when the power sliding door override
switch on the overhead console is turned off.
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.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
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 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.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not
use the metal flanges to ªpop outº the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves are
snapped together tightly so water will not get in.
5. Check the transmitter operation. If needed, follow
the instructions on resynchronizing your
remote transmitter.
Page 116 of 429

2-12 Resynchronization
Your remote keyless entry system uses a continually
changing code for increased security. Normally, the
receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this
changing code.
Loss of synchronization will occur if the transmitter
is activated more than 256 times while out of range
of the vehicle.
Loss of synchronization will occur after the battery
replacement if the transmitter is immediately activated
more than 16 times while out of range of the vehicle.
If your remote keyless entry transmitter has stopped
working, you may need to resynchronize the transmitter
to the vehicle receiver. To do this, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons together and hold for at least seven
seconds or until the horn sounds if equipped with the
content theft
-deterrent system. Check the
transmitter operation.
Switchbanks
There are two sets of switchbanks located in the front of
the vehicle. The switches will vary with the options that
are on your vehicle. It is useful to become familiar with
them since they are used frequently while operating
the vehicle.
Overhead Console Switchbank
This switchbank is located in the overhead console.
The switches that you may find in this switchbank are
the interior lights override, power sliding door override,
power sliding door and the power rear quarter windows.
If your vehicle does not have some of the options
controlled by these switches, there will be a blank button
in its place.
For more information, please see each of these features
in the Index.

Instrument Panel Switchbank
This switchbank is located in the instrument panel below
the comfort controls. The switches and controls that you
may find in this switchbank are the rear fan knob, rear
window wiper/washer and traction control. If your
vehicle does not have some of the options controlled by
these switches, there will be a blank button in its place.For more information, please see each of these features
in the Index.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the optional rear
climate control system, there will be a storage space in
this switchbank. The rubber mat can be removed for
cleaning. Snap the mat into place after cleaning.
