REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules
and with RS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
The remote entry system allows you to:
²lock or unlock all vehicle doors without a key.
²open the trunk.
²activate the panic alarm.
²confirms that the vehicle is locked with a short
ªbeepº from the horn.
The remote entry features only operate with the

Illuminated entry
The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry
system is used to unlock the door(s) or sound the
personal alarm.
The system automatically turns off after 25 seconds
or when the ignition is turned to the START/RUN or
ACC position. The dome lamp control (if equipped)
mustnotbe set to the OFF position for the
illuminated entry system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
²
they have been turned on with the dimmer control or
²any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 30
minutes after the ignition has been turned to the OFF
position, 10 minutes after if the door is left open, and
30 minutes after if the trunk is left open or the dome
lamp switch is left on.
Replacing lost transmitters
Take all your vehicle's
transmitters to your
dealer if service is
required.
If you purchase
additional transmitters
(up to four may be
programmed into
memory), perform the following procedure:
To reprogram the transmitters yourself, place the key
in the ignition and turn from LOCK to OFF and cycle
between OFF and ON eight times in rapid succession
(within 10 seconds) ending in ON. After doors
lock/unlock, press any control on all transmitters (up
to four). With each control press of the transmitters,
the door should cycle (lock/unlock) to confirm
programming. When completed, turn the ignition to
OFF. The door locks should cycle (lock/unlock) one
last time to confirm completion of programming.
All transmittersmustbe programmed at the same
time.

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the
following information in mind when adding
accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
²When adding accessories, equipment, passengers
and luggage to your vehicle, do not exceed the
total weight capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the
Safety compliance certification label). Consult
your dealer for specific weight information.
²The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems - such as two-way
radios, telephones and theft alarms - that are
equipped with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply
with FCC or CRTC regulations and should be
installed only by a qualified service technician.
²Mobile communications systems may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are
not properly designed for automotive use or are
not properly installed. When operated, such
systems may cause the engine to stumble or stall
or cause the transmission to be damaged or
operate improperly. In addition, such systems may
be damaged or their performance may be affected
by operating your vehicle. (Citizens band [CB]
transceivers, garage door openers and other
transmitters with outputs of five watts or less will
not ordinarily affect your vehicle's operation.)
