Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a Keyless Access System that allows
you to lock and unlock your doors, unlock your trunk lid
and disarm or arm your theft-deterrent system. The range
distance is as much as 100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes with
two transmitters, and up
to four can be matched
to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicle” later
in this section.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock the doors.
The indicator light on the door will ash once. If this
button is pressed twice, the doors will lock, the light
will ash once and the horn will sound once.
K(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The indicator light on the door will ash
twice. Press the button twice within 10 seconds to
unlock both doors. If it is dark enough outside, your
interior lamps will come on.
Your memory settings may also be recalled when
you press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 2-56for more information.
G(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
approximately one second to open the trunk while the
engine is turned off or the shift lever is in PARK (P).

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 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. SeePower
Door Locks on page 2-11for more information.
To open a door from the inside, press the button in front
of the door handle and push the door open.

If power to the vehicle or the keyless access transmitter
is lost, there are two ways to open the door.
If you are inside the vehicle, use the door release
handle located on the oor next to each seat. Pull the
handle up to unlock and unlatch the door.If you are outside the vehicle, there is a door release tab
in the trunk. The tab is located behind a panel on the
driver’s side of the trunk. Pull the handle to unlock and
unlatch the driver’s door. SeeTrunk on page 2-12for
information on opening the trunk during a loss of power.
2-10

Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located
on the door panels
near the windows.
K(Unlock):Press this portion of the button to
unlock the doors.
Q(Lock):Press this portion of the button to lock
the doors.There is an indicator light on the rear of the door near
the window.
When the lock portion of the button is pressed and the
door is closed, a beep will sound and the light will come
on for a few seconds, then turn off. If the button is
pressed and the door is open, a beep will sound and
the light will stay on continuously.
When the unlock portion of the button is pressed and the
door is closed, a beep will sound and the light will ash
twice. When the button is pressed and the door is open,
a beep will sound and the light will ash.
Automatic Door Lock
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the doors are
closed, the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved
out of PARK (P), all the doors will lock.
If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is not in
PARK (P), have the person use the power door unlock
switch. When the door is closed again, the doors will lock
either when your foot is removed from the brake or the
vehicle speed becomes faster than 8 mph (13 km/h).
2-11

Programmable Automatic
Door Unlock
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the shift
lever is moved into PARK (P), both doors will unlock.
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the engine running,
door unlocking can be programmed through prompts
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
These prompts allow the driver to choose various unlock
settings. For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-78.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the horn three
times and unlock the driver’s door when both doors are
closed and there is a keyless access transmitter inside
the vehicle. When the driver’s door is opened, the key in
reminder chime will sound continuously. The vehicle will
remain locked only when at least one transmitter has
been removed from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-78.
Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select
the control setting that will force outside
air into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-34.
