Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System OperationThe vehicle’s doors can be locked and
unlocked from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 65
feet (20 m) away with the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature
you can also start your vehicle with the
RKE transmitter. Your RKE transmitter,
with the remote start button, provides an
increased range of 195 feet (60 m) away.
However, the range may be less while the
vehicle is running. As a result, you may
need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it
off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can
affect the performance of the transmitter.
Refer to “Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System” in this section.Remote Keyless Entry with

The following functions may be available if

tion.
(Lock):
Press the lock button to lock the doors and
liftgate. If enabled through the Driver Infor-
mation Center (DIC), the parking lamps will

pressed again within five seconds of the
previous press of the lock button. Refer to
“DIC Vehicle Personalization” in “Driver
Information Center (DIC)” in the “Instru-
ment Panel” section for additional informa-
tion. Pressing the lock button may arm the
content theft-deterrent system. Refer to
“Content Theft-Deterrent” in this section.

driver's door. If the button is pressed again
within five seconds, all remaining doors,

has occurred. Refer to “DIC Vehicle Per-
sonalization” in “Driver Information Center

transmitter will disarm the content theft-
deterrent system. Refer to “Content Theft-

(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm):
Press and release this button to locate
your vehicle. The turn signal lamps will
flash 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 flash and the
horn will sound repeatedly for 30 seconds.
The alarm will turn off when the ignition is
moved to RUN or the alarm button is
pressed again. The ignition must be in
LOCK for the panic alarm to work.
The RKE transmitter is used to arm/disarm
the content theft-deterrent system. Your
vehicle’s theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Refer to “Content Theft-Deterrent” in this
section.
If you accidentally set off the alarm when
entering or exiting the vehicle, you can
shut it off by pressing the lock or unlock
button once or the panic alarm button
twice.
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 addi-
tional 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. The vehicle can have a maximum
of four transmitters matched to it. Or, refer
to “Relearn Remote Key” under “DIC Oper-
ation and Displays” in “Driver Information
Center (DIC)” in the “Instrument Panel”
section for instructions on how to match
RKE transmitters to your vehicle.
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 loca-
tion. If you have to get close to your vehi-
cle before the transmitter works, it is
probably time to change the battery.
To replace the battery in the RKE transmit-
ter, do the following:1) Use a flat thin object to pry open the
transmitter.
1562525
2) Once the transmitter is separated, use
a pencil or similar object to remove the
old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3) Slide the new battery into the transmit-
ter with the positive side of the battery
facing down. Use a type CR2032 bat-
tery, or equivalent type.
4) Snap the transmitter back together
tightly to be sure no moisture can enter.
5) Check the operation of the transmitter.
CAUTION
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.

Theft-Deterrent SystemsVehicle 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
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1) Open the door.
2) Lock the door with the power door lock
switch or the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you are using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the door does
not need to be open.
3) Close all doors.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if some-
one tries to enter the vehicle without using
the remote keyless entry transmitter or a
key or turns the ignition on with an incor-
rect key. The horn will sound and the turn
signal lamps will flash for approximately
two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the trunk may
be opened with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The power door lock switches
are disabled and the doors remain locked.
You must use your remote keyless entry
transmitter or your key to unlock the doors
when the system is armed.Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The alarm system will arm when you use
either power lock switch to lock the doors
while any door or the trunk is open and the
key is removed from the ignition.
Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter

your remote keyless entry transmitter to
lock the doors, if the key is not in the igni-
tion.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when you
use your remote keyless entry transmitter
to unlock the doors.
The first time a remote unlock command is
received, three flashes will be seen and
three horn chirps heard to indicate an
alarm condition has occurred since last
arming.
Disarming with Your Key
