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.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible
to steal.

remote keyless entry system. The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off
after about 30 seconds. The security system is not
armed until the SECURITY light is
off. If the
SECURITY light stays on or flashes when the
ignition is turned on, there is a problem with the
system and the vehicle should be serviced.

Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock.
It only activates
if you use the power door lock switch or
remote keyless entry transmitter. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key
if the alarm has been set off. This
also shuts
off the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting
off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, lock the door either using a key or the
manual door lock switch.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry system. Unlocking a door any other
way will set
off the alarm.
if you set off the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key.
You can also turn
off the alarm by pressing the unlock
symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
alarm won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the car, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the
vehicle’s lamps flash, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 5-92.
If the alarm does not sound, or the vehicle’s lamps do
not flash, the vehicle should be serviced by an
authorized service center.
