battery, readily available at local retail stores.
1. Pry the transmitter halves apart with a coin or similar
object.
2. Remove and replace the batteries.3. Reassemble the transmitter case and test operation.
NOTE:If the transmitter is operated more than 255
times out of range of the vehicle (23 feet or 7 meters) or
when the vehicle battery is dead, it may become ªout of
synchº. The result is that the transmitter will not func-
tion.

ignition and close the hood and all doors. Press both
buttons on the transmitter for about 10 seconds. The horn
will chirp once to acknowledge the signal. Normal trans-
mitter operation should resume.

trunk (with the ignition key), hood or turning the ignition
key to any position will trigger an alarm.

If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for
about 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will
sound and the park, tail and fog lights will flash. If the
condition which triggered the alarm is still present, the
park, tail and fog lights will continue to flash for 15
minutes, unless the trigger condition is cleared sooner.
NOTE:The engine will not start until the system is
disarmed.
To Arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm System
There are two methods to arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm
system:
1. Press the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry.
The optical and audible horn chirp will sound if it is
enabled. (See Remote Keyless Entry section of this
manual)2. Remove the keys from the ignition and, with the door
open, press the Lock button on the door trim panel and
close the door.
3. After the last door is closed, the security light will
flash for 15 seconds. If there is a fault in the system or if
the hood or trunk is not closed, the Vehicle Theft Alarm
lamp will remain ON steady for 15 seconds until the
system is armed. (See the dealer if the system is faulted)
The arming sequence will cancel if the door is opened or
the ignition is turned on. Opening the hood or trunk will
not cancel the arming process.

respective window will drop slightly when either door is
