This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
Check the distance. You may be too far from your

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 or
resynchronization is necessary. See “Battery
Replacement” and “Resynchronization” under
“Remote Keyless Entry System Operation” following
this section.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet
(1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless
entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
In addition, the system illuminates the interior lamps for
a set period of time. Also, a content theft security
system can be activated to monitor and set a horn alarm
if the vehicle’s door or trunk is opened without rst
unlocking the door or trunk with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
The remote keyless entry system consists of a receiver,
which is located in the vehicle, and two hand held
transmitters.

The following functions are
available with the remote
keyless entry system:
LOCK:Press this button to automatically lock all doors.
In addition, if all doors and the trunk are closed, the

and the vehicle content theft security system will arm.
SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on page 2-14.
UNLOCK:Press this button to unlock the driver’s door.
In addition, the headlamps will ash twice, the interior
lamps will turn on for about 20 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on, and the content theft security
system will disarm. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on
page 2-14. If you press this button again within
ve seconds, all remaining doors will unlock.V(Trunk Release):Press this button to open the
trunk. You can open the trunk with the transmitter when
the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h). The
headlamps will ash twice.
L(Panic):Press this button to sound the horn and
make the headlamps and interior lamps ash alternately.
They can be turned off by pressing this button again
or by turning the ignition to ON. The alarm will sound for
two minutes unless cancelled by the driver.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp ash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp
twice on the rst press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.
Radio Personalization
Your vehicle can store different radio preset stations
depending on which keyless entry transmitter you use to
unlock the doors. The radio will recall all the stored

This feature can be disabled by your dealer if you
desire. Contact your dealer for further information.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Arming the System
With the ignition off, press the LOCK button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter to arm the system
immediately after all doors and the trunk are closed. If
the LOCK button is pressed again within ve seconds,
the horn will chirp to conrm that the system has
been armed.
Once the system is armed, the THEFT SYSTEM light
on your instrument panel will ash and remain ashing.
This conrms the system is armed and monitoring
the doors and trunk. If the light is on solid, the system is
not properly activated due to either a door or the
trunk being ajar.
If you don’t want to arm the system, lock the car with
the lock levers on the doors or with the power door
lock switch.
Disarming the System
If the system is armed, press the UNLOCK button on
the transmitter to disarm the system. The THEFT
SYSTEM light will stop ashing.
If the system is armed, turning the key to START will
also disarm the system.
If the system is armed and the trunk is opened using
the trunk release button on the transmitter, the system
will temporarily disarm itself and re-arm when the
trunk has been closed. This allows the customer to exit
the vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter, and
open the trunk using the transmitter without having
to disarm and subsequently re-arm the system.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, opening any door or trunk, or
using a wrong key to start the vehicle will cause a
pre-alarm chirp for 10 seconds and then a full alarm of
horn and headlights for two minutes.
If an alarm event has nished and all doors and trunk
are closed, the content theft security system will
re-arm itself.
2-14

How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated by:
Pressing the LOCK or panic button on the
transmitter to turn off the alarm. The system will
re-arm if all doors and the trunk are later closed.
Pressing the UNLOCK or trunk button on the
transmitter to turn off the alarm and disarm
the system.
Putting the key in the ignition and turning it to
START to turn off the alarm and disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
UNLOCK, LOCK or trunk buttons on your transmitter,
the content theft security system alarm was triggered
while you were away.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp ash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp
twice on the rst press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.
Passlock®
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Passlock®theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.
During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light
will go off approximately ve seconds after the key is
turned to the RUN ignition position following an
engine start.
If the engine stalls and the THEFT SYSTEM light
ashes, wait until the light stops ashing before trying to
restart the engine. Remember to release the key from
START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the THEFT SYSTEM light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if
you turn the engine off. However, your
Passlock
®system is not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected
by Passlock
®at this time. See your dealer for service.
