Use the remote keyless
entry transmitter to
open or lock your
vehicle's doors or your
trunk from a distance.
Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
LOCK: Press the LOCK button to lock all doors.
UNLOCK: Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
keyless transmitter once to unlock the driver's door and
turn on the interior lamps. See ªIllumination and
Remote Activationº in the Index for more details. Pause
for about one second, then press UNLOCK again within
five seconds to unlock the passenger door.
(Panic Alarm): Press the button with the horn
symbol to activate an alarm on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The ignition must be in OFF or ACC for the
panic alarm to work. When you press the panic button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the headlamps
will flash, the horn will honk repeatedly and your
interior lamps will illuminate attracting attention if you
need it. The alarm will continue until one of the
following occurs:

The panic alarm button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed a second time,

the vehicle's ignition is turned to ON or

an alarm period of about 110 seconds has elapsed.
(Trunk Release): Press the button on the remote
keyless transmitter with the vehicle symbol on it to
release the trunk.
Operating the remote keyless entry transmitter may
interact with the content theft
-deterrent system (if your
vehicle this option). See ªContent Theft
-Deterrent
Systemº in the Index.

Transmitter Verification (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the remote
keyless entry transmitter that a command has been
received by the keyless entry receiver. The headlamps and
back
-up lamps will flash on every lock and the first unlock
command, and the horn will sound once for every lock
and twice for the first unlock command. Silent operation
and other options may be selected for this feature. See
ªVehicle Customization Settingsº in the Index.
If your vehicle has the optional content theft
-deterrent
system, the first time the remote unlock is received, three
flashes will be seen and three horn chirps heard to indicate
an alarm condition has occurred since last arming. See
ªContent Theft
-Deterrent Systemº in the Index.
Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature provides interior illumination when a
remote keyless entry door unlock command is received
and executed, the trunk release button is pressed or
when the panic alarm is activated. The interior lamps
will illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON or until
an illumination period of 40 seconds has elapsed or the
doors are locked with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. If a door is opened
during the illumination period, the timed illumination
will be canceled, and the interior lamps will remain on.
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 a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
If you prefer, you can complete this procedure yourself.
See ªVehicle Customization Settingsº in the Index for
more information.
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.

2-17
Content Theft-Deterrent (Option)
Your vehicle may have the optional content
theft
-deterrent alarm system.
With this system, a light on the radio will flash.
This light reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The light on the
radio should come on and stay on. If you are using
the remote keyless entry transmitter, the door does
not need to be open.
3. Close all doors. The light on the radio will slowly
flash once the system is armed.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key) or turns the ignition on with an
incorrect key. The horn will sound and the headlamps
and back
-up lamps will flash for approximately
two minutes.When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be opened with
the remote keyless entry transmitter. If you use the key
to open the trunk, the alarm will sound. Also, the power
door lock switches are disabled. You must use your
remote keyless entry transmitter or your key to unlock
the doors when the system is armed.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system will arm when you use either power
lock switch to lock the doors while any door or the trunk
is open and the key is removed from the ignition.
The light on the radio flashes quickly to let you know
when the system is ready to arm with the power door
lock switches. The light on the radio will stop flashing
and stay on when you press the bottom of the power
lock switch, to let you know the system is arming.
After all doors and the trunk are closed and locked, the
light on the radio will flash slowly to let you know the
system is armed.

2-18 Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you use your remote
keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors, if the key is
not in the ignition. The light on the radio will turn on to
let you know the system is arming. After all doors and
the trunk are closed and locked, the light on the radio
will begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know
the system is armed.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your
remote keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors.
The light on the radio will go off to let you know the
system is no longer armed.
The first time a remote UNLOCK command is
received, three flashes will be seen and three horn chirps
heard to indicate an alarm condition has occurred since
last arming.
Disarming with Your Key
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your key
to unlock the doors. The light on the radio will go off
to let you know the system is no longer armed.

A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive. You can raise it to the highest
level to give your legs more room when you exit and
enter. The lever to adjust it is located on the left side of
the steering column.

2-44 Turn Signal and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete
your lane change. The lever will return by itself when
you release it.
If the arrow flashes faster than normal as you signal a
turn or a lane change, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won't see your turn signal.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
Turn Signal On Chime
If you leave either one of your turn signals on and
drive more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound
to alert you.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change your headlamps from low beams to high
beams, or from high to low, pull the multifunction lever
all the way toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light will appear on
the instrument panel cluster.
This light works only when the key is in ON. The fog
lamps (if equipped) are not illuminated when the high
beams are on.

2-45
Flash-to-Pass Feature
With the turn signal lever in the low-beam position,
pull the lever toward you momentarily to switch to
high
-beam, (to signal you are going to pass).
If the headlamps are on, they will return to low
-beam
when the lever is released. This feature operates even if
the headlamps are off.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wipers will operate when the ignition is
in ACC or ON.WIPER: To operate the windshield wipers, turn the
band labeled WIPER, located on the multifunction lever,
upward or downward.
OFF: To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF.
The five marks between OFF and LO are delay settings.
For a longer delay between wiping cycles, turn the band
downward. For a shorter delay between wiping cycles
turn the band upward.
LO (Low Speed): Turn the band upward to LO for
steady wiping at a low speed.
Hi (High Speed): Turn the band upward to HI for
steady wiping at high speed.
MIST: Turn the band downward to MIST for a single
wiping cycle. Hold the band at this setting until the
windshield wipers start, then release it. The windshield
wipers will stop after one wipe. If additional cycles are
needed, hold the band on MIST longer.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload. If your blades
become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
