Changes or modi®cations to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
If you ever notice a decrease in the remote keyless
entry transmitter range, try doing one of the following:
·Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
·Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
·Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See ªBattery Replacementº under
Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-4.
·Check to make sure that an electronic device such
as a cellular phone or lap top computer is not
causing interference.
·If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
quali®ed technician for service.

your trunk lid and disarm or arm your theft-deterrent
system. The range distance is as much as 100 feet
(30 m) away.

standard with two
transmitters, and up to four
can be matched to your
vehicle. See ªMatching
Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicleº later in this
section.

{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
·Passengers Ð especially children Ð can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked it
will not open. You increase the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors are not locked. So, wear safety
belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
·Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
·Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside, use the
keyless access transmitter and press the appropriate
lock or unlock button. You may also unlock and open the
door passively when you squeeze the door handle
sensor, as long as you have your transmitter with you.
Passive entry occurs when the door handle sensor
is pressed and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is opened
®rst, the driver's door will also become unlocked.
From the inside, use the power door lock buttons located
at the top of the door panel near the window. See
ªPower Door Locksº following for more information.
To open a door from the inside, press the button in front
of the door handle and push the door open.
