the ignition key is removed or a power seat, mirror or
memory switch is being used. Memory recall will be
temporarily interrupted during engine crank.
Remote Function Actuation System
Your vehicle has a passive/active Remote Function
Actuation (RFA) system that allows you to lock and
unlock your doors, unlock your hatch/trunk lid, turn the
panic alarm on and off and disarm or
arm your
theft-deterrent system. When using one of the key fob
transmitters supplied with your vehicle, the passive
range distance is as much as
30 feet (9 m) away from the
vehicle on the driver’s side and 20 feet
(6 m) away on
the passenger’s side. The active range distance is as
much as
100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes
standard with two
transmitters, and up to
three can be matched
to your vehlcle.
See “Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” later in
this section.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your RFA system 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,

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
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 make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer is not
causing interference.
Try to resynchronize the transmitter by pressing
and holding the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for
seven seconds when standing next to the vehicle.
If you’re still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
You don’t have to do anything for the RFA to work
when the passive feature is on.
You can turn on the passive feature by moving the
transmitter’s slider switch to
ON. Now, when you move
toward your vehicle with the key fob transmitter, the
system will automatically disarm your theft-deterrent
system and unlock the driver’s door or both depending
on how the system is programmed. If it’s dark enough
outside,
your interior lamps will come on.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter to
actively unlock your vehicle. Press UNLOCK once to
unlock the driver’s door, or press UNLOCK again
within 10 seconds to unlock both doors.
The hatchltrunk lid will unlock when the button with the
trunk symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned
to the
OFF position.
If you move out of range with the slider switch set to
ON, the key fob transmitter will:
Lock the doors after five seconds.
0 Arm the theft-deterrent system.
Sound the horn to let you know the doors are locked
(if you have set your options to
do so). (See “Driver
Information Center Controls and Displays” in
the Index.)
0 Turn off the interior lamps.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I’urning the Passive System Off
You can disable the passive feature by moving the
transmitter’s slider switch to
OFF. The vehicle will no
longer automatically disarm your theft-deterrent system or unlock the doors, however, you will be able to
actively control use of the door locks, the hatch/trunk lid
release and the panic alarm using the four transmitter
buttons. (These buttons also work when the passive feature is on.)
Make sure to fully slide the switch to either side when
turning the key fob transmitter on and
off. You should
feel a double click when sliding the switch back
and forth.
You can also check whether the passive system is on or
off by closing the door and moving away from the
vehicle with the keys and transmitter. If the doors lock,
the passive system is on.
If you are working around your vehicle and keeping
your keys with you, you might want to
turn the RFA
passive system off. If you don’t, the transmitter will
keep locking and unlocking your doors.
Transmitter Range
The active range (using one of the four buttons) of the
key fob transmitter
is approximately 60 to 100 feet
(18 to 30 m). The passive range (having the slider
switch set to
ON) is approximately 10 to 20 feet
(3 to 6 m) on the passenger’s side of the vehicle and
20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 m) on the driver’s side.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RFA system uses a continually changing code for
increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code.
,If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If
so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your transmitter at
the same time and hold
for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize
the security code in your
RFA key fob transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
Loss of synchronization will occur after transmitter
battery replacement or disconnection of the
vehicle’s battery.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need
to match the
transmitter to the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key fob 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 only three transmitters
matched to it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) by pressing the
RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times
until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold
the RESET button for two seconds.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed,
push the RESET button once. The message
HOLD
LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
5. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter simultaneously for
15 seconds.
6. When a transmitter is learned, the DIC will display
FOB LEARNED and then prompt you to learn the
next transmitter.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for each additional transmitter.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.
The programming mode will shut
off if
0 You don’t program any transmitters for two minutes.
0 You take the key out of the ignition.
0 You have programmed three transmitters.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key fob
transmitter should last about
18 months.
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.
