At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
•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” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
•If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System

W(Unlock):Press this button to unlock all of the
doors and the liftgate, if equipped. If all of the doors and
the trunk or liftgate are closed, the hazard lamps will
flash twice to indicate that unlocking has occurred. The
theft-deterrent system will deactivate and the security
light will turn off. The security light is located on the base
of the driver’s door lock.
If a door is not opened or if the engine is not started
within 30 seconds after pressing unlock on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, all of the doors will
automatically lock and the theft-deterrent system
will reactivate.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock all of the doors
and the liftgate, if equipped. If all of the doors and
the trunk or liftgate are closed, the hazard lamps will
flash once and the horn will chirp to indicate that locking
has occurred. The theft-deterrent system will activate
and the security light will flash.
If the driver’s door is open while pressing lock, all of the
doors, except for the driver’s door will lock. If any
door other than the driver’s door is open while
pressing lock, all of the doors, including the driver’s
door, will lock.
S(Panic):If your vehicle has this feature, press this
button to turn on the hazard warning flashers. The
hazard warning lamps will flash for about 28 seconds.
Press this button again to turn off the hazard warning
lamps.
The lock, unlock, trunk, and panic buttons, on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, will not operate while
the key is in the ignition. The theft-deterrent system
will not activate while the key is in the ignition.
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.

How the System Alarm is Activated
If a door or the trunk or liftgate is opened without using
the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
horn will sound and the lamps will flash for up to
30 seconds.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated using
one of the following methods:
•Press the lock or unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door using
the key.
Otherwise, the alarm will automatically stop after
30 seconds. The system will then lock the doors and
reactivate the theft-deterrent system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If the hazard warning lamps flash once when you press
the lock or unlock buttons on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, that means the theft-deterrent system
alarm was triggered while you were away, from the
vehicle.
Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice:Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:
Do not drive at any one constant speed, fast or
slow, for the rst 500 miles (805 km). Do not
make full-throttle starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake, or slow, the vehicle.
Avoid making hard stops for the rst 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your new brake
linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new
linings can mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
Do not tow a trailer during break-in. SeeTowing a
Trailer on page 4-35for the trailer towing
capabilities of your vehicle and more
information.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can be
gradually increased.
