Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle. You don't want the system to
inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
dealer and the service manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To
purchase a service manual, see ªService and Owner
Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow wires, wires wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag system. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

2-10
If you ever notice a decrease in the remote keyless entry
transmitter range, try doing one of the following:

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.

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

Check to make sure that an electronic device such
as a cellular phone or lap top computer is not
causing interference.

Try to resynchronize the transmitter.
See ªResynchronizationº in this section.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.Operation
The driver's door will unlock when the unlock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, or press
the unlock button again within 10 seconds to unlock
both doors. Also, by pressing the unlock button, it may
automatically disarm your theft
-deterrent system,
depending on how the theft
-deterrent system is
programmed. If it's dark enough outside, your interior
lamps will come on.
Your memory settings will also be recalled when you
press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See ªMemoryº in the Index for
more information.
The hatch/trunk lid will unlock when the button with the
trunk symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned
to OFF.

2-12
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON.
2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) by pressing the RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times
until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold
the RESET button for two seconds.
4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed,
push the RESET button once. The message HOLD
LK + UNLK 1ST FOB in the DIC will be displayed.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the
first transmitter simultaneously for five seconds.
6. When a transmitter is learned (matched), the DIC
will display FOB LEARNED and then prompt you
to learn the second transmitter.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the third transmitter.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.The programming mode will shut off if any of following
has occurred:

You don't program any transmitters for two minutes.

You take the key out of the ignition.

You have programmed three transmitters.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three 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.
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.

2-13 Replacing the Battery in the Remote
Keyless Entry Transmitter
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the back of the
transmitter and gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+)
side up. Use a battery, type CR2032, or equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it
together so water won't get in.
5. Test the transmitter.
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RKE system uses a continually changing code for
increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what's wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low. If so, see ªBattery
Replacementº in the Index.
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
lock and unlock buttons on your transmitter at the
same time and hold for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize the security code in your
RKE transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle. See ªMatching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicleº in the Index.

Hatch/Trunk Lid Release
To use the hatch/trunk lid release on vehicles with an
automatic transmission, your vehicle must be in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). For manual transmissions,
set the parking brake. See ªParking Brakeº in the Index.Press the button with the trunk symbol on it, located at the
left side of the steering column on the instrument panel, to
release the hatch/trunk lid from inside your vehicle.
The remote keyless entry transmitter will also release
the hatch/trunk lid. See ªRemote Keyless Entry Systemº
in the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hatch and you have lost
battery power, use the manual release cables to open the
hatch. To access the cables, remove the two access panels
located in the rear of the trunk area. There is one cable
located under each access panel. See ªRear Storage
Compartmentsº in the Index for more information.

2-15
Pull each cable straight down for each latch to release
the hatch.
If your vehicle is equipped with a convertible
top/hardtop and you have lost battery power, use the
manual release cable to open the trunk lid. To access the
cable, remove the center storage compartment lid
located in the rear of the trunk area. See ªRear Storage
Compartmentsº in the Index for more information.Pull the cable straight down to release the trunk lid.
If your vehicle is equipped with a convertible top and
trunk release handle and you have lost battery power,
use the trunk release handle to open the trunk.
See ªTrunk Release Handleº in the Index for
more information.
