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.
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

the doors with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73for more
information on programming this feature.If your vehicle is programmed for remote con rmation,
the doors must be closed for this feature to work.
If a door is open, remote con rmation will be canceled.
W(Unlock):Press this symbol on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to unlock the driver’s door.
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 ash when you unlock the doors with the
remote keyless entry transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle

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 at 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.

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.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.
Delayed Locking
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
delayed locking is active.
When all the doors are closed, the doors will lock
automatically after ve seconds. If a door is reopened
before ve seconds have elapsed, the ve 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 delayed locking is off, the doors
will lock immediately when you press the power
door lock switch or the lock button on the remote keyless

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the security light
will ash, reminding you to arm the theft-deterrent system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the power door lock switch. The
security light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The security light should go off
within approximately 30 seconds.If a door or a liftgate is opened without a key or a
remote keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound
and the lamps will ash for up to 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system won’t arm if you lock the
doors with a key or use the manual door lock.
It activates only if you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the power door lock.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don’t want to arm the theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter disarms the
theft-deterrent system. Unlocking a door any other
way while the system is armed will activate the alarm
when a door or the liftgate is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
using the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with a valid key.
