This system has a range of about 3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in
range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry
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 to determine if battery replacement or
resynchronization is necessary. See the instructions
that follow.
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.
If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Operation
Remote Driver's Door and All Door Unlock
When you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, only the driver's door will unlock. If you
press UNLOCK again within five seconds, all the doors
will unlock. If you would like all doors to unlock the
first time you press UNLOCK, see ªLocks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index. If your vehicle is equipped withthe Content Theft
-Deterrent system, the UNLOCK
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will
disarm the system. See ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the
Index for more details.
Remote All Door Lock
To lock all doors, press LOCK on the remote keyless
entry transmitter (see ªPower Door Locksº in the Index
for more details on power door lock features). If your
vehicle is equipped with the Content Theft
-Deterrent
system, the LOCK button may arm the system. See
ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for more details.
Remote Lock/Unlock Confirmation (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
remote keyless entry transmitter that a command has
been received by the keyless entry receiver. To signal
that a command has been received, the headlamps will
flash and the horn will sound briefly. To program the
various modes available, see ªLocks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index.
Remote Alarm (If Equipped)
When you press the horn button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the headlamps will flash and the horn
will sound. This will allow you to attract attention,
if needed.

Remote Trunk Release
Press the trunk symbol on your remote keyless entry
transmitter to open your trunk. The transaxle must be in
PARK (P) for this feature to operate.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
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.
