Section 2 Features and Controls

To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter, do
the following:
1. Insert a thin object, such as a coin, in the slot
between the covers of the transmitter housing
near the key ring hole. Remove the bottom
by twisting the coin.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a
three-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery,
positive (+) side up.3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Resynchronize the transmitter. See
“Resynchronization” following this information.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the
security method used by this system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to
the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a
signal that has been sent previously. This prevents
anyone from recording and playing back the
signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to
your vehicle and press and hold the lock and
unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time
for 15 seconds. The door locks should cycle to
con rm synchronization. If the locks do not cycle,
see your dealer for service.

When locking the doors with the power lock switch
or the keyless entry transmitter and a door or
the liftgate (if equipped) is open, the delayed
locking feature will delay locking the doors until
ve seconds after the last door is closed. You will
hear three chimes to signal that the delayed
locking feature is in use.
Pressing the power lock switch or the lock button
on the keyless entry transmitter twice will
override the delayed locking feature and
immediately lock all the doors.
You can turn the delayed locking feature off or
