Your vehicle has the PASS-Key®III vehicle theft
system. The key has a transponder in the key
head that matches a decoder in the vehicle’s
steering column. If a replacement key or
any additional key is needed, you must purchase
this key from your dealer. The key will have PK3
stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag that came
with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer if
you need a new key made.
Any new PASS-Key
®III key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. SeePASS-Key®
III on page 126for more information on
programming your new key.
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.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, see
Roadside Assistance Program on page 532for
more information.

At times you may notice a decrease in operating
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 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 99.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
You can lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors and
the liftgate using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.The remote keyless
entry transmitter shown
here is for a vehicle
equipped with the
remote vehicle start
feature and dual power
sliding doors.
The remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with
your vehicle will only contain the buttons specic
to your vehicle’s factory installed remote
system features.
/(Remote Vehicle Start):If your vehicle has
this feature, you can start the engine from outside
the vehicle. See “Remote Vehicle Start” at the
end of this section for more detailed information.

2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter.
Do not use the metal anges to pop out the
battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the
halves are snapped together tightly so water
will not get in.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons
for seven seconds to synchronize the
transmitter.
6. Check the transmitter operation.
Remote Vehicle Start
This feature allows you to start the engine from
outside the vehicle. It may also turn the rear
window defogger if the outside temperature is
below 45°F (7°C).
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some
laws may require a person using remote start to
have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check
local regulations for any requirements on remote
starting of vehicles.
/(Remote Vehicle Start):If your vehicle has
the remote vehicle start feature, the remote
keyless entry transmitter will have a button with
this symbol on it.
An increased range of operation is provided with
the remote keyless entry transmitter that has
the remote vehicle start button.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, do not use the
remote start feature. The vehicle may run out of
fuel. The vehicle may also run out of fuel if
the vehicle is running for a long period of time
when parked on an incline facing downward with a
low fuel condition.

the ignition switch and turned to RUN.The maximum number of remote starts or remote
start attempts between ignition cycles with the
key is two.
If the remote start procedure is used again before
the rst 10 minute time frame has ended, the
rst 10 minutes will immediately expire and
the second 10 minute time frame will start.
After two remote starts have been provided, the
vehicle’s ignition switch must be turned to
RUN and then back to LOCK using the key before
the remote start procedure can be used again.
If you enter the vehicle after a remote start,
and the engine is running, insert the key into the

Remote Start Ready
If your vehicle does not have the remote vehicle
start feature, it may have the remote start ready
feature. This feature allows your dealer to add the
manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature.

symbol on the back cover, your vehicle has the
remote start ready feature. You can lock or
unlock your vehicle from approximately 197 feet
(60 m) away.
See your dealer if you would like to add the
manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature to your
vehicle.

3. If the power sliding door overhead console
switch is in the override (deactivation)
position, return to the activation position.
4. Open the sliding door using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, overhead console
switch, or passenger switch. Allow the door to
travel fully open.
If the door does not travel to the fully open
position, press the overhead console switch to the
override (deactivation) position and slide the
door fully open and closed. Check for foreign
objects in the tracks. Repeat the procedure starting

the license plate. Once slightly opened, the
liftgate will rise by itself. Lamps in the rear of the
vehicle will come on, illuminating the rear
cargo area.

checking for overhead obstructions such as a
garage door, you could break the liftgate
glass. Always check to make sure the area
above the liftgate is clear before opening it.

then rapidly after Universal Home Remote
successfully receives the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release both
buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously,
programming is complete and your device
should activate when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed and released.

Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do
not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two
seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with Steps 6 through 8 following
to complete the programming of a rolling-code
device, most commonly, a garage door
opener.6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.

“Smart” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the programmed Universal Home Remote
button for two seconds, then release.
Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a
second time, and depending on the brand of
the garage door opener or other rolling
code device, repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate the rolling-code device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of

repeat Step 1, as this will erase all previous
programming from the Universal Home Remote
buttons.
