The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps after 30 minutes if the
front door is left open or after 60 minutes if the liftgate is left open.
Replacing the battery
The transmitter is powered by one coin type three-volt lithium battery.
Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 10 meters (33 feet)
away from your vehicle. A decrease in operating range can be caused by:
²weather conditions
²nearby radio towers
²structures around the vehicle
²other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin between the two
halves of the transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Place the positive (+) side of new
battery up. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back
together.
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:
With all doors closed and locked,
insert and remove the key from the
ignition six times within ten
seconds. The park lamps will flash
twice to confirm the programming mode has been entered.

will flash twice to confirm the end of programming.
All transmittersmustbe programmed at the same time.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
When armed, the anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL key fobs(remote entry transmitters) are brought to the
dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash headlamp lamps,
tail lamps and the security indicator lamp, chirp the horn and disable the
starting system.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
²Lock the doors with the remote
transmitter (doors opened or
closed). The horn will chirp (if all
doors are closed) to confirm that
the control was pressed. The
horn chirp feature can be turned
on/off by holding the LOCK and
UNLOCK controls on the
transmitter simultaneously for
two seconds. The hazard lights
will flash three times each time
the system is toggled between active and non-active modes.
²Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock the doors.

If a door is open, the system is
prearmed and is waiting for the door
to close. Once all the doors are
closed, the security indicator lamp
on the instrument panel will
illuminate continuously when the
system is prearmed.
Once the doors are closed, the
system will arm in 30 seconds and
the security indicator lamp will
begin to flash.
