Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
The following functions may be available if your
vehicle has the remote keyless entry system.
The LED light (A), on the transmitter, will flash
when the buttons on the remote keyless entry
transmitter are pressed. You can lock and unlock
the vehicle’s doors from about 20 feet (6 m)
away. SeeRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
on page 91for additional information.
W(Unlock):Press this button to unlock all of the
doors and the liftgate, if equipped. If all of the
doors and the liftgate are closed, the hazard lamps
will flash twice to indicate that unlocking has
occurred. The theft-deterrent system will deactivate
and the security light will turn off. The security
light is located on the base of the driver’s
door lock.
If a door is not opened or if the engine is not
started within 30 seconds after pressing unlock on
the remote keyless entry transmitter, all of the
doors will automatically lock and the theft-deterrent
system will reactivate.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock all of the
doors and the liftgate, if equipped. If all of
the doors and the liftgate are closed, the hazard
lamps will flash once and the horn will chirp
to indicate that locking has occurred. The
theft-deterrent system will activate and the security
light will flash.
If the driver’s door is open while pressing lock, all
of the doors, except for the driver’s door will
lock. If any door other than the driver’s door is
open while pressing lock, all of the doors, including
the driver’s door, will lock.
92

S(Panic):If your vehicle has this feature, press
this button to turn on the hazard warning
flashers. The hazard warning lamps will flash for
about 28 seconds. Press this button again to
turn off the hazard warning lamps.
The lock, unlock, and panic buttons, on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, will not operate
while the key is in the ignition. The theft-deterrent
system will not activate while the key is in the
ignition.
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 a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in the remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
two years.
The battery is weak if the LED light fails to
illuminate or if the transmitter will not work at the
normal operating range. If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is 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.
93

To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter, do the following:
1. Remove the screw from the back of the cover
and open the cover of the transmitter.
2. Pull the transmitter unit out of the cover and
open the cover of the transmitter unit.3. Remove the battery and replace it with the
new one. Make sure the positive side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR1616,
or equivalent type battery.
4. Close the cover of the transmitter unit and put
the unit in the cover of the transmitter.
5. Assemble the transmitter cover and replace
the screw. Make sure the cover is on tightly,
so water will not get in.
6. Test the transmitter operation.
