Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
With this feature, you can lock and unlock the
doors and liftgate, open and close the liftgate, and
turn on your vehicle’s interior lamps from up to
65 feet (20 m) away using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
You will have one of the RKE transmitters
below.
Q(Lock):Press this symbol on the RKE
transmitter to lock the doors. This also arms the
theft-deterrent system. SeeTheft-Deterrent
System on page 112for additional information.
You can program your vehicle so that the exterior
lamps will ash and/or the horn will sound
when you lock the doors with the RKE transmitter.
SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on page 231for
more information on programming this feature.
"(Unlock):Press this symbol on the RKE
transmitter to unlock the driver’s door. This also
disarms the theft-deterrent system. Press the
button again, within ve seconds, to unlock the rest
of the doors.
You can program your vehicle so that the exterior
lamps will ash when you unlock the doors
with the RKE transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 231for more information
on programming this feature.
If your vehicle is programmed for remote
conrmation, the doors must be closed for this
feature to work. If a door is open, remote
conrmation will be canceled.

L(Panic Alarm):Press and release this button
to locate your vehicle. The turn signal lamps
will ash and the horn will sound three times.
Press and hold this button for more than
two seconds to activate the panic alarm. The
turn signal lamps will ash and the horn will sound
repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm will turn
off when the ignition is turned to ON or the alarm
button is pressed again. The ignition must be
in OFF for the panic alarm to work.
&(Power Liftgate):Press and hold this button
on the RKE transmitter to open and close the
liftgate. The taillamps will ash and a chime will
sound to indicate when the liftgate is opening and
closing.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each RKE 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 additional transmitters with you so that
all of them can be re-coded to match the new
transmitter. Once your dealer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum
of eight transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about four years.
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.

Sun Visors
Swing down the primary visor to block out glare.
It can also be detached from the center mount and
moved to the side to block glare from that
direction.
The driver’s sunshade may also have buttons for
a built-in garage door opener. SeeUniversal
Home Remote System (With Three Round LED)
on page 143orUniversal Home Remote
System (With One Triangular LED) on page 143
for more information.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover. The light will
automatically come on. The light will go out when
you close the cover.
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.
Theft-Deterrent System
The security light is
located on the
instrument panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door
lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light will
illuminate. It should go off within approximately
30 seconds.
If a door or a liftgate is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will ash for up to 30 seconds.
112

The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key, use the manual door lock
or if the liftgate is ajar. It activates only if you use
the RKE transmitter or the power door lock.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
The vehicle should be locked with the door
key or the manual door lock after the doors
are closed if you don’t want to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter disarms the
theft-deterrent system. Unlocking a door any
other way while the system is armed will
activate the alarm when a door or the liftgate
is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with
a valid key.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window,
then get out of the vehicle, keeping the
door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock switch or the RKE transmitter and
close the door. Wait approximately 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock and open the door. The horn
will sound and the exterior lamps will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s
door with your key, using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter or by starting the car with a
valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 455. If the fuse does not
need to be replaced, you may need to have your
vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
