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 will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is 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.
1. Insert a at object, such as a coin, into the slot on
the side of the transmitter and twist it to separate
the halves.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not
use the metal anges to pop out the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves
are snapped together tightly so water will not get in.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons
for seven seconds to synchronize the transmitter.
6. Check the transmitter operation.

This feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle. It may also turn the rear window defogger
if the outside temperature is below 45°F (7°C).
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local regulations for any
requirements on remote starting of vehicles.

ignition switch and turned to RUN.
The maximum number of remote starts or remote start
attempts between ignition cycles with the key is two.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially children — can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle will not open it. 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.There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
To unlock the driver’s door from the outside with the
key, insert the key and turn it toward the front of
the vehicle. To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with your key, insert the key and turn it toward the rear
of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has power door locks, you may be able
to unlock all of the doors and the liftgate when you insert
the key, turn it toward the front of the vehicle, and
hold it there for one second. You may be able to lock all
of the doors when you insert the key and turn it toward
the rear of the vehicle.
2-11

From the inside, use the manual or power door locks.
To unlock either front door from the inside, pull back on
the manual lever. To lock either front door from the
inside, push the manual lever forward.
Power Door Locks
From the inside, press the
top of the power door lock
switch, located on either
front door, to unlock
all doors and the liftgate.
With the content theft-deterrent system, the power door
lock switch will not unlock the doors until the system
is disarmed. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on page 2-27
for more details.
You can lock all doors and the liftgate from the inside by
pressing the bottom of the power lock switch on either
front door. With the content theft-deterrent system, the
power door lock switch may cause the system to arm. See
Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2-27for more details.
If the liftgate has been unlocked with the power door locks,
you will not need the key to open it. Squeeze the handle
located above the license plate to open the liftgate. This is
also true if you use the remote keyless entry transmitter.
SeeRemote Keyless Entry System on page 2-4.

Delayed Locking
This feature allows the locking of the vehicle to be
delayed until all doors have been closed for
approximately ve seconds.
To activate the delayed locking feature, do one of the
following:

time while the passenger’s door is open.
Press the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter one time while any door is open.
Two chimes will sound to signal that delayed locking is

The doors may be locked immediately by repeating any
of the above actions more than one time.
If a door remains open, without any other door being
opened or closed, the vehicle will lock after
approximately 45 seconds.
If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not lock
the doors.
To turn the delayed locking feature off or on, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-68.
Sliding Door Delayed Locking
If either sliding door is open when you use the power
door locks to lock the vehicle, the sliding door that
is open will not lock. Normally the delayed locking
feature will be used to lock the sliding door after it has
been closed.
The sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your
sliding door(s) in situations where the delayed
locking feature does not apply or was overridden or
programmed to be off. See “Delayed Locking” earlier in
this section. Shortly after the last sliding door is
closed, all the doors will lock.
Automatic Door Locks
All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature cannot
be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it is not
in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or, have that person
use the manual lever or the power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will lock when
the vehicle exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock the
doors at any time, either manually or by using the power
door lock switches.

unlock automatically when the shift lever is moved into
PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, seeDIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel
Only) on page 3-68.

lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver’s door is
open while the key is in the ignition, the door cannot be
locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in
the ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used, the key
could still be locked inside the vehicle. Always
remember to take the key with you.

the handle out and then pull the door toward the rear.
If you slide the door all the way back, the door will rest in
a detent position.To move the door forward, you must rst pull the door
past the open detent position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, do not
try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver’s side
sliding door. Then when the fuel ller door is closed, the
driver’s side sliding door can be opened normally.
