2-9
Your vehicle left the factory programmed to have no
doors lock and none of the doors unlock. You can set the
automatic lock feature to lock all the doors when the
vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h) for
two seconds, and then unlock all the doors once the key
is removed from the ignition. The following instructions
detail how to program your door locks differently than
the factory setting. Choose one of the four programming
options listed above before entering the program mode.
To enter the program mode you need to do the following:
1. Begin with the ignition in OFF. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold it
there while you perform the next step.
2. Turn the key to RUN and OFF twice. Then, with the
key in OFF, release the turn signal/multifunction
lever. Once you do this, you will hear the lock switch
lock and unlock and a 30 second program timer
will begin.3. You are now ready to program the automatic
door locks. Select one of the four programming
options listed above, and follow the instructions.
You will have 30 seconds to begin programming.
If you exceed the 30 second limit, the locks will
automatically lock and unlock to indicate that you
have left the program mode. If this occurs, repeat the
procedure beginning with Step 1.
You can exit the program mode any time by turning the
ignition to RUN (the locks will automatically lock and
unlock to indicate that you are leaving the program mode).
If the lock/unlock switches are not pressed while in the
programming mode, the current auto lock/unlock setting
will not be modified.

when the keys are in the ignition and a door is open, to
protect you from locking your key in the vehicle.

and the key is in the ignition, all the doors will lock and
the driver's door will unlock.

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

Operation
UNLOCK: When you press UNLOCK, the driver's
door will unlock automatically, the parking lamps will
flash and the interior lamps will go on. If you press
UNLOCK again within three seconds, the remaining
doors will unlock, the parking lamps will flash and the
interior lamps will go on.
LOCK: Press LOCK to lock all the doors. Press LOCK
again within three seconds and the horn will chirp.
REAR: When you press the REAR button twice within
three seconds to release the rear liftgate glass, the
parking lamps will flash and the interior lamps will go
on. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the
transmission must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, you must
engage the parking brake.
Remote Panic Alarm
When the button with the horn symbol on the key
transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound and the
headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to 30 seconds.
This can be turned off by pressing the horn button again,
waiting for 30 seconds, or starting the vehicle.
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.
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.

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.
To replace the battery in the keyless entry transmitter
do the following:
1. Insert a dime in the slot between the covers of
the transmitter housing near the key ring hole.
Remove the bottom by twisting the dime.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a three
-volt
CR2032 or equivalent battery, positive (+) side up.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Resynchronize the transmitter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons on the transmitter at the same time for seven
seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
synchronization. If the locks do not cycle, see your
dealer for service.

Endgate/Liftgate
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the rear
window, endgate or liftgate open because carbon

unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the rear window, endgate
or liftgate open or if electrical wiring or other
cable connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the rear window, endgate
or liftgate:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT or OUTSIDE AIR. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See ªComfort
