Remote Keyless Entry 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 remote keyless entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
UNLOCK:When you press
UNLOCK, the driver’s door
will unlock automatically,
the parking lamps willflash
and the interior lights will
go on.
If you press UNLOCK again within three seconds, all
doors will unlock.
LOCK:Press LOCK to lock all the doors. Press LOCK
again within three seconds and the horn will chirp.REAR 2X:When you press the REAR button twice
within three seconds to unlock the rear hatch or cargo
doors, the parking lamps willflash and the interior lights
will go on. If the engine is running, the automatic
transmission must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) for
the REAR 2X button to operate.
L(Panic Alarm):When this button is pressed, the
horn will sound and the headlamps and taillamps
willflash for up to 30 seconds. This can be turned off by
pressing the panic button again, waiting for 30 seconds,
or starting the vehicle.
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.

8. Now connect the black
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal
of the good battery. Use
a remote negative (−)
terminal if the vehicle has
one. Don’t let the other
end touch anything
until the next step.
The other end of the negative (−) cable does not
go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part, or to a remote
negative (−) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable at
least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts that move. The electrical
connection is just as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice:Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly. To prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
