If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
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 “Battery Replacement”
underKeyless Access System Operation on
page 68.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer
is not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
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.
68

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.
Your memory settings may also be recalled when
you press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10for more information.
G(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
about one second to open the trunk while
the engine is turned off or the shift lever is in
PARK (P).
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from working with 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.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not work with your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the
vehicle key into the key cylinder located on
the lower rear fascia on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. SeeTrunk on page 77for more
information on the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.

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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

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.

access transmitter. When the passenger door is
opened rst, the driver’s door will also become

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 doors 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 220.

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, a 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 220.

It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You

electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
