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.
Vehicles are delivered with two transmitters. See your
dealer for information on how to obtain additional
transmitters.
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 will not
work at the normal range in any location. 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.
1. Use an object like a coin to pry open the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use an object
like a pencil to remove the old battery. Do not use
a metal object.
2-7

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.
Doors and Locks
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 will not open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors are not 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.
2-8

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.
From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
From the inside, use the
manual lock levers located
at the top of the door
panel near the window.
Push down 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 mode and a
theft-deterrent system. 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 door key twice in the lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the door panels near
the windows.
Press the bottom part of the power door lock switch
located on either front door to lock all of the doors
at once. Press the top of the switch to unlock all of the
doors at once.
The power door lock switches located on the rear doors
can also lock all the doors at once by pressing the
bottom part of them, but they cannot unlock the doors.

Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the doors are
closed, the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved
out of PARK (P), all the doors will lock. The doors
will unlock every time you stop the vehicle and move
the shift lever into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is not in
PARK (P), have the person use the manual lever or
power door lock switch. When the door is closed again,
it will not lock automatically. Use the manual lever or
power door lock switch to lock the door.
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the ignition in ON, the
door locks can be programmed through prompts
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC). These
prompts allow the driver to choose various lock and
unlock settings. For programming information, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-74.
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with rear door security locks
that prevent passengers from opening the rear doors on
your vehicle from the inside.
The rear door security
locks are located on the
edge of each rear
door. You must open the
doors to access them.
To use these locks, do the following:
1. Turn the knob located on the passenger’s side rear
door clockwise to engage the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Turn the knob located on the driver’s side rear door
counterclockwise to engage the lock.
The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.

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.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door security lock, do the following:
1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Turn the knob on the passenger’s side of the rear
door counterclockwise all the way back to the
original position.
3. Turn the knob on the driver’s side of the rear door
clockwise all the way back to the original position.
The rear door locks will now work normally.Lockout Protection
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any door
open will disable the power door lock switches 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.
The anti-lockout feature can be overridden by holding
the power door lock switch for three seconds or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving your vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
