Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and
unlock your doors from about 3 feet (1 m) up
to 30 feet (9 m) away using the RKE transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
K(Unlock):Press
unlock for the driver’s
door to unlock
automatically, the
parking lamps to ash
and the interior lights to
go on. Press the unlock
button a second time
within three seconds to
unlock all the doors.
You can program different feedback settings
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information seeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 220.
Q(Lock):Press lock to lock all the doors.
Press lock again within three seconds and the
horn will chirp.
L(Panic):Press the horn symbol to make the
horn sound. The headlamps and taillamps
will ash for up to 30 seconds. This can be turned
off by pressing the horn button again, by waiting
for 30 seconds, or by starting the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each RKE 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.
96

To operate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The security light should ash.
3. Close all doors. The security light should turn
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light turns off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the
RKE transmitter, the alarm will go off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will ash for
two minutes, and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn off to save the
battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key or use the
manual door lock. It activates only if you use a
power door lock switch with the door open, or with
the RKE transmitter. You should also remember
that you can start your vehicle with the correct
ignition key if the alarm has been set off.To avoid setting off the alarm by accident, do the
following:
Always lock the vehicle using the door key
afterthe doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the
RKE transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any
door with the key. You can also turn off the alarm
by pressing unlock on the RKE transmitter.
The alarm will not stop if you try to unlock a door
any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, do the following:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch while the door is
open, or with the RKE transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
109

4. The indicator light will ash slowly at rst and
then rapidly after Universal Home Remote
successfully receives the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release both
buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously,
programming is complete and your device
should activate when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed and released.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a constant
light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following
to complete the programming of a rolling-code
device, most commonly, a garage door
opener.6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed Universal Home Remote button
for two seconds, then release it. Immediately
press and hold the same button a second time
for two seconds, then release it. Immediately,
press and hold the same button a third time for
two seconds, then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate the rolling-code device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” You do
not want to repeat Step 1, as this will erase all
previous programming from the Universal Home
Remote buttons.
