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.

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. If you have to get close
to your vehicle before the transmitter works, it's probably
time to change the battery.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.To replace the battery do the following:
1. Insert a ¯at object like a thin coin into the notch
located on the front of the transmitter, below the
open trunk button, and pry it apart.
2. Gently slide the battery out of the transmitter.
Do not use a metal object to remove the battery.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter. Use a
type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
4. Snap the transmitter back together, making sure the
halves are secured tightly, so water will not get in.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work,
resynchronize the transmitter.
Resynchronization
If the functions on the remote keyless entry transmitter
do not work, or, if only the remote alarm works, after
the battery is replaced, then the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver. Do this by pressing
and holding the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time for about eight seconds.
You must be within range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the
horn will sound and the exterior lamps will ¯ash once.
The system should now operate properly.

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
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A red light located on top
of the instrument panel,
toward the center of the
vehicle and near the
windshield, will ¯ash slowly
when the system is armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. The remote alarm will sound if
someone tampers with the trunk lock, enters the vehiclewithout using the remote keyless entry transmitter or
key to unlock the doors, or turns the ignition on without
the proper key. The horn will sound and the headlamps
will ¯ash for up to two minutes. The system will also
cut off the fuel supply, preventing the vehicle from
being driven.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The vehicle's content theft-deterrent alarm system
can be activated when the key is removed from
the ignition and either power door lock switch is used to
lock the doors, when any door is open. This system
can be activated through the Driver's Information Center
(DIC). See personal programming under
DIC Controls
and Displays on page 3-45.
When programmed, the red light will ¯ash rapidly on top
of the instrument panel indicating the system is ready to
activate. When the doors are locked using the power door
lock switch, the red light will stop ¯ashing indicating that
the system is arming. After all the doors are closed and
locked, the red light will begin ¯ashing at a very slow rate,
indicating the system is armed.
