Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft
-deterrent system, you
must unlock the doors with the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. If the
windows are down and the doors are locked, don't reach
in to manually unlock the vehicle because you will set
off the alarm.
From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
From the inside, use
the manual lock levers
located on the door panels
near the windows.
Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.

Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle has a central door unlocking feature. When
unlocking the driver's door, you can unlock the other
doors by holding the key in the turned position for a
few seconds or by quickly turning the key twice in the
lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the front door panels.
Press the bottom part of the power door lock switch
to lock or the top of the switch to unlock all the doors
at once.
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
You must use the manual levers to lock and unlock the
rear doors when riding in the rear seat.
Last Door Closed Locking Feature
With this feature, you can delay the actual locking of
the doors.
When the power door lock switch or the lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed when the
key is not in the ignition and the driver's door is opened,
a chime will sound three times indicating that last door
closed feature is active.
When all the doors are closed, the doors will lock
automatically after five seconds. If a door is reopened
before five seconds have elapsed, the five second timer
will reset itself once all the doors are closed again.
You can press the door lock switch or the lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter again to override
this feature and lock the doors immediately.
You can turn this feature off using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). When the last door closed
locking feature is off, the doors will lock immediately
when you press the power door lock switch or the lock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. See
ªVehicle Programming and Personalization Featuresº in
the Index for more information.

When you want to open a rear door when the security
lock is on, do the following:
1. Unlock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter, the front door power lock switch or by
lifting the rear door manual lock.

The rear door locks will now work normally.
Anti-Lockout Feature
The power door lock switches will not work if the key is
in the ignition, the engine is off, a door is open and
delayed locking is turned off. If you press the power
door lock switch, all the doors will lock and only the
driver's door will unlock. If you close the doors, you can
lock them using the remote keyless entry transmitter. Be
sure to remove the key from the ignition when locking
your vehicle.
The anti
-lockout feature can be overridden by pressing
the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving your vehicle, open the door, lock the
vehicle from the inside; then get out and close the door.

the trunk and turn on your vehicle's interior lamps from
about 10 feet (3 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.

frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device complies with RSS

Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
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 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 the instructions that follow.
If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.Operation
(Lock): When you press
this symbol on the remote
keyless entry transmitter,
the doors on the vehicle will
lock. This also arms the
theft
-deterrent system.
You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps
will flash and/or the horn will sound when you lock the
doors with the remote keyless entry transmitter. See
ªVehicle Programming and Personalization Featuresº
in the Index for more information on programming
this feature.
If your vehicle is programmed for remote confirmation,
the doors must be closed for this feature to work. If a
door is open, remote confirmation will be canceled.

(Unlock): When you press this symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, the driver's door will
unlock. This also disarms the theft
-deterrent system.
Press the button again to unlock the rest of the doors.
You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps
will flash when you unlock the doors with the remote
keyless entry transmitter. See ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index for more
information on programming this feature.
If your vehicle is programmed for remote confirmation,
the doors must be closed for this feature to work. If a
door is open, remote confirmation will be canceled.
(Panic Alarm): The remote keyless entry
transmitter comes equipped with an instant panic alarm.

ignition is turned off. The horn will sound and the
exterior lamps will flash for up to 30 seconds. To stop
the instant panic alarm, press the symbol again or turn
the ignition to ON.
(Trunk): Press this button to open the trunk.
The remote keyless entry transmitter can be used to
recall the memory settings for up to two drivers. For
more information, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº and ªMemory Seat and
Mirrorsº in the Index.
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 your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four 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.
1. Use a flat thin object to pry open the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil or
similar object to remove the old battery. Do not use
a metal object.

3. Insert the new battery as the instructions under the
cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Press any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to resynchronize the transmitter.
6. Check the operation of the transmitter.
