When you press the horn button on the remote keyless

horn will sound. This will allow you to attract attention,
if needed.

Remote Power Sliding Door Operation
If your vehicle has the power sliding door, your
remote keyless entry transmitter will have a button that
has a van symbol on it. Press it to open or close the
sliding door. See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on
page 2-17.
If your vehicle has the dual power sliding doors, your
remote keyless entry transmitter will have two buttons
that have a van symbol on them. The van symbol on the
left is for the driver's side sliding door and the van
symbol on the right is for the passenger's side sliding
door. See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-17.

sliding door(s). The parking lamps will ¯ash when
the right button with the van symbol is pressed and they
will not ¯ash when the left button with the van symbol
is pressed. Press the van symbol again to close
the sliding door(s). See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on
page 2-17for more information.You can operate the power sliding door(s) with the
remote keyless entry transmitter only when the power
sliding door override switch(es) on the overhead console
is turned off. See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on
page 2-17.
If your vehicle's fuel ®ller door is opened, the driver's
side power sliding door will not open completely. Do not
try to force the door. Once the fuel ®ller door is
closed, the driver's side sliding door can be opened
normally.
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.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.

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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located on top of your instrument panel (near the
center of the vehicle, next to the windshield) will ¯ash
slowly to let you know that the system has been armed.While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key) or turns the ignition to ON. The
horn will sound and the parking lamps will ¯ash for up to
two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the liftgate may be opened
with the remote keyless entry transmitter or with a key.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system will arm when you use either power
door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or
the liftgate is open and the key is removed from
the ignition. If you would like to turn on power door lock
switch arming, see
Vehicle Personalization on
page 2-61.
When the security light ¯ashes quickly the system is
ready to arm with the power door lock switches.
Then the security light will stop ¯ashing and stay on
when you press the rear of the power door lock switch,
to let you know the system is arming. After all doors
and the liftgate are closed and locked, the security light
will begin ¯ashing at a very slow rate to let you know
the system is armed.

Warning Lights, Gages and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on brie¯y when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages
and warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages
shows there may be a problem, check the section that
tells you what to do about it. Please follow this
manual's advice. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly ± and even dangerous. So please get to know
your warning lights and gages. They're a big help.
Your vehicle also has a message center that works
along with the warning lights and gages. See
Message
Center on page 3-50.
