Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a Keyless Access System that allows
you to lock and unlock your doors, unlock your trunk lid
and disarm or arm your theft-deterrent system. The range
distance is as much as 100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes
with two transmitters,
and up to four can
be matched to your
vehicle. See “Matching
Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle” later in
this section.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock the doors.
The indicator light on the door will ash once. If this
button is pressed twice, the doors will lock, the light will
ash once and the horn will sound once.
K(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The indicator light on the door will ash
twice. Press the button twice within 10 seconds to
unlock both doors. If it is dark enough outside, your
interior lamps will come on.

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 it
will not open. 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.To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside, use the
keyless access transmitter and press the appropriate
lock or unlock button. You may also unlock and open the
door passively when you squeeze the door handle
sensor, as long as you have your transmitter with you.
Passive entry occurs when the door handle sensor
is pressed and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is opened
rst, the driver’s door will also become unlocked.
From the inside, use the power door lock buttons
located at the top of the door panel near the window.
See “Power Door Locks” following for more information.
2-9

To open a door from the inside, press the button in front
of the door handle and push the door open.
If power to the vehicle or the keyless access transmitter
is lost, there are two ways to open the door.If you are inside the vehicle, use the door release
handle located on the oor next to each seat. Pull the
handle up to unlock and unlatch the door.
2-10

If you are outside the vehicle, there is a door release
tab in the trunk. The tab is located behind a panel on the
driver’s side of the trunk. Pull the handle to unlock
and unlatch the driver’s door. SeeTrunk on page 2-13
for information on opening the trunk during a loss
of power.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the door panels near
the windows.
K(Unlock):Press this portion of the button to unlock
the doors.
Q(Lock):Press this portion of the button to lock
the doors.
There is an indicator light on the rear of the door near
the window.
2-11

When the lock portion of the button is pressed and the
door is closed, a beep will sound and the light will
come on for a few seconds, then turn off. If the button is
pressed and the door is open, a beep will sound and
the light will stay on continuously.
When the unlock portion of the button is pressed and
the door is closed, a beep will sound and the light
will ash twice. When the button is pressed and the door
is open, a beep will sound and the light will ash.
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.
If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is not in
PARK (P), have the person use the power door unlock
switch. When the door is closed again, the doors will lock
either when your foot is removed from the brake or the
vehicle speed becomes faster than 8 mph (13 km/h).
Programmable Automatic
Door Unlock
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the shift
lever is moved into PARK (P), both door will unlock.
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the engine running,
door unlocking can be programmed through prompts
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
These prompts allow the driver to choose various unlock
settings. For programming information, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the horn
three times and unlock the driver’s door when both
doors are closed and there is a keyless access
transmitter inside the vehicle. When the driver’s door
is opened, the key in reminder chime will sound
continuously. The vehicle will remain locked only when
at least one transmitter has been removed from the
vehicle and both doors are closed. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-73.

Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when the
express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory position.
Weather conditions such as severe icing may also
cause the window to auto-reverse. The window
will return to normal operation once the obstruction or
condition is removed.
{CAUTION:
If express override is activated, the window
will not reverse automatically. You or others
could be injured and the window could be
damaged. Before you use express override,
make sure that all people and obstructions are
clear of the window path.
Express Window Override
A condition may exist that causes auto-reversal of the
window due to weather or an obstruction. In an
emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be overridden in
a supervised mode. Hold the window switch all the
way down in the express position. The window will rise
for as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is
released, the express mode is re-activated.
In this mode, the window can still close on an object in
its path. Use care when using the override mode.
Window Indexing
This feature automatically lowers the window a small
amount when the door is opened. Then, when the door
is closed, the window will raise to its full up position.
Sun Visors
Swing down the visor to block out glare. It can also be
detached from the center mount and moved to the side.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors
Swing the visor down and lift the cover. The lamp will
automatically come on when the cover is opened.

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
Your vehicle is equipped with a theft-deterrent alarm
system.
With this system, the
security light will ash
when the door is open
and locked with the
power door lock switch.
If this light is on continuously while the engine is
running, your vehicle needs service.
Arming the System
Use one of the three following items listed here to arm
the system:
Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter.
Open the door. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch. The security light should ash. Remove
the keyless access transmitter from the interior of the
vehicle and close the door. The security light will stop
ashing and stay on. After 30 seconds, the light
should turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
lock the doors and arm the system when you exit
the vehicle. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 3-73.
Now, if a door or the trunk lid is opened without the
keyless access transmitter, the alarm will go off.
Your horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go off
to save battery power. And, your vehicle will not
start without a keyless transmitter present.
