{CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons. They could operate the power
windows or other controls or even make
the vehicle move. The children or others
could be badly injured or even killed.
Do not leave the keys in a vehicle with
children.
99

One key is used for the
ignition and all locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered to the dealer, the
key has a key tag. This tag has a bar-coded key
code that tells your dealer how to make extra keys.
This tag may be removed and kept by your dealer.
If it has not been removed, keep the tag in a safe
place. If you lose your key, your dealer can easily
make another one by using the key code. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 456for
more information.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle
to get in. Be sure you have spare keys.Remote Keyless Entry System
If the vehicle has the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system, it operates on a radio frequency subject
to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
100

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This
is normal for any RKE system. If the transmitter
does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
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”
underRemote Keyless Entry System
Operation on page 101.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
The vehicle’s doors may be locked and unlocked,
and the trunk can be opened from approximately
3 feet (1 m) up to 197 feet (60 m) away with the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. If your
vehicle has the remote vehicle start feature, you
can also start the vehicle’s engine with the RKE
transmitter.

The following functions may be available if your
vehicle has the RKE system.
/(Remote Vehicle Start):If your vehicle has
this feature, the engine may be started from outside
the vehicle using the RKE transmitter. See “Remote
Vehicle Start” later in this section for more detailed
information.
Q(Lock):Press the lock button to lock all the
doors. The interior lamps will turn off after all of the
doors are closed. If enabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC), the remote lock feedback
can be programmed to have the horn chirp and/or
the turn signals ash when the RKE transmitter is
used to lock the vehicle’s doors. See “LOCK
HORN” and “LIGHT FLASH” underDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 216for more information.
Pressing the lock button may also arm the content
theft-deterrent system. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent
on page 118.
K(Unlock):Press the unlock button to unlock the
driver’s door. If the button is pressed again within
ve seconds, all remaining doors will unlock.
The interior lamps will turn on and stay on for
20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on. If
enabled through the DIC, the remote unlock
feedback can be programmed to have the horn
chirp and/or the turn signals ash when the RKE
transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle’s doors.
See “UNLOCK HORN” and “LIGHT FLASH” under
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 216for more
information.
If enabled through the DIC, and it is dark enough
outside, the vehicle’s high-beam headlamps,
parking lamps, and back-up lamps will turn on each
time the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed.
These exterior lamps will stay on for 20 seconds,
or until a door is opened. See “EXT (Exterior)
LIGHTS” underDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 216for additional information.
Pressing the unlock button on the RKE transmitter
will disarm the content theft-deterrent system. See
Content Theft-Deterrent on page 118.
102

V(Remote Trunk Release):Press and hold
this button for approximately one second to open
the trunk. The trunk will open using the transmitter
when the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h),
when the ignition is off, or when the vehicle shift
lever is in PARK (P), if your vehicle has an
automatic transaxle.
L(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm):This button
may be used to locate your vehicle. When you
press and release this button, the horn will sound
three times and the headlamps and turn signals will
ash three times. Press and hold the button for
approximately three seconds to sound the panic
alarm. The horn will sound and the headlamps and
turn signals will ash for 30 seconds. Press the
button again to cancel the panic alarm.
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 so they can also
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 up to four transmitters
matched to it.
103

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.
The KEY FOB BATT LOW message in the
vehicle’s DIC will display if the RKE transmitter
battery is low.
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.To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter do
the following:
1. Insert a at object, with a thin edge, into the
notch located below the vehicle locator/panic
alarm button, and separate the bottom
half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new
one. Make sure the positive (+) side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR2032,
or equivalent, type battery.
