REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
Your remote entry system contains two remote transmitters which
provide remote control of several features. Each remote transmitter will
allow you to:
²unlock the vehicle doors without a key.
²lock all the vehicle doors without a key.
²open the trunk without a key.
²activate the personal alarm.
²open all windows and moonroof (if equipped).
²arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
²operate the illuminated entry feature.
²operate the memory seat/mirror/steering column feature (if equipped).
The remote transmitter features only operate with the ignition in the
OFF or ACC positions. For vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission, the remote transmitter features also operate if the ignition
is in the RUN position and the gear shift is in P (Park). The personal
alarm feature, however, will not operate when the ignition is in the RUN
position.
If there is any potential remote keyless entry problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL key fobs(remote entry transmitters) are brought to the
dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.

Press this control to unlock the
driver door and disarm the
perimeter alarm (if armed). The
interior lamps will illuminate and
the turn signal lamps will display
two short flashes (to indicate

If the memory seat/mirror/steering
column feature (if equipped) is
activated, the corresponding
seat/mirror/steering column
positions will be recalled.
