If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to
the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement
is necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Keyless Access System Operation on page 73.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer is
not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer/
retailer or a quali ed technician for service.
Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a keyless access system
that allows you to lock and unlock your doors,
unlock your hatch/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 standard 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 light on the door will ash once. If this button
is pressed two times, the doors will lock, the
light will ash and the horn will sound.

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, a 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. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 234.
Hatch/Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
hatch/trunk lid open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can not see or smell CO.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the
hatch/trunk lid open or if electrical wiring
or other cable connections must pass
through the seal between the body and
the hatch/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.
SeeDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 179.
If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
