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 retailer. Remember to
bring any remaining transmitters with you
when you go to your retailer. Each vehicle can
have a maximum of four 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 does 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.
If the battery is low, a KEY FOB BATT (Battery)
LOW message will display in the vehicle’s DIC.
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.

3. Put the two halves back together. Make sure
the cover is on tight, so water will not get
inside the transmitter.
4. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.

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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter lock button.
The system will arm thirty seconds after all the
doors are closed, or sixty seconds with any
door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed, the
system will arm immediately. The system will still
arm in sixty seconds if a door is open. When the
open door is closed, the system will arm.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, comes on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will ash once every three seconds.
If the security light is ashing twice per second,
this means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, lock the car
with the lock levers on the doors.
