keyless entry transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
UNLOCK:When you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, only the driver's door will

all the doors and the liftgate will unlock. If you would
like all the doors to unlock the ®rst time you press
UNLOCK, see
Vehicle Personalization on page 2-61.With the content theft-deterrent system, the UNLOCK
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will

When you use your remote keyless entry transmitter to
unlock your vehicle or to operate the power sliding
door(s), the parking lamps will ¯ash to let you know the

If you would like to change the way the parking lamps
operate with remote unlock con®rmation, see

Remote Alarm
When you press the horn button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the parking lamps will ¯ash and the
horn will sound. This will allow you to attract attention,
if needed.
Press this button again to stop the alarm from sounding.
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

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.
