Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either of the keys or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
With the theft
-deterrent system, you must unlock the
doors with the key or remote keyless entry transmitter to
avoid setting off the alarm.
Push down on the manual
lock button to lock the door
from the inside. To unlock
the door, pull up on
the button.

2-6
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
To use this lock:
1. Turn the knob on the passenger's side rear
door clockwise all the way down to the
ENGAGED position.
2. Close the door.
3. Turn the knob on the driver's side rear door
counterclockwise all the way down to the
engaged position.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.When you want to open a rear door when the security
lock is on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Turn the passenger's side rear door knob
counterclockwise all the way back to the
original position.
3. Turn the driver's side rear door knob clockwise all
the way back to the original position.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Anti-Lockout Feature
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any door
open will disable the use of the power door lock buttons
as well as the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you close the doors, you can lock them
using the remote keyless entry transmitter. It is always
recommended that you remove the ignition key when
locking your vehicle.
Also, the anti
-lockout feature can be overridden by
holding the driver's power door lock button for three
seconds or longer.

2-7
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
Remote Keyless Entry System
With this feature, you can lock and unlock your doors
or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry transmitter operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(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
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.

2-8
The average range of this system is about 10 feet (3 m).
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry transmitter. 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
When you press this
symbol to unlock the
driver's door, the parking
lamps on your vehicle will
flash twice. (You can
program your vehicle so the
parking lamps will not
flash. They will also not
flash if the manual park
lamps are on.
For more information, see ªLock/Unlock Confirmationº
in the Index.) Pressing this symbol again within
five seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing this
symbol will also disarm the theft
-deterrent system and
turn on the interior lamps at night.

2-9
When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will flash once and the horn will sound.
The park lamps will not flash, however, if the manual
park lamps are left on. (You can also program your
vehicle so the parking lamps will not flash and the horn
will not sound. For more information, see ªLock/Unlock
Confirmationº in the Index.) This also arms the
theft
-deterrent system.
Press this symbol to open the trunk. (The VALET
lockout switch must be off for this feature to work.)
Your transmitter also comes equipped with an instant
panic alarm. To use the alarm, press this symbol. The
horn will sound and the exterior lights will flash for up
to 30 seconds. To stop the instant panic alarm, press the
symbol again or turn the ignition to ON.
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used to
recall the memory settings for up to two drivers. For
more information, see 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. 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.
Since all vehicles come with only two transmitters. You
must check with your dealer for information on how to
obtain additional transmitters.

2-10
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.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a coin 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.

2-11
3. Replace the battery. 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. Resynchronize the transmitter. See
ªResynchronizationº following.
Resynchronization
Pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter buttons
numerous times (approximately 250 times) out of
the vehicle's operating range may cause the transmitter
not to work. Replacing the battery and pressing the
transmitter buttons out of range will also cause the
transmitter not to work. If only the instant alarm button
works, the transmitter needs to be resynchronized to the
receiver. Do this by pressing and holding both the lock
and unlock buttons on the transmitter for about eight
seconds. You must be within range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the locks
will cycle from lock to unlock. See your dealer for
service if your transmitter doesn't work properly.
