been raining for 24 hours, you may have to pull a door
handle to reactivate this feature.

•If you accidentally lock your RKE transmitter in the
vehicle using the door panel switch, ALL doors will
unlock and the horn will chirp three times after all
doors are closed. If you do this three times, the system
will not chirp and the doors will remain locked on the
third attempt. To re-enable the system the vehicle must
be unlocked with another valid RKE transmitter.

The vehicle doors can be locked by using the RKE
transmitter lock button or the lock button located on the

cedure:

same lock/unlock and chirping sound that you would
experience if you accidentally locked your RKE transmit-
ter in the vehicle.
2. Open the door and repeat Step 1 two more times (three
times total). The doors will remain locked; no audible
warnings will occur.
NOTE:Any RKE transmitter that is locked in the
