Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
The vehicle’s doors can be locked and unlocked
from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 65 feet (20 m)
away with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature you
can also start your vehicle with the RKE
transmitter. The RKE transmitter, with the remote
start button, provides an increased operating
range of 195 feet (60 m) away. However,
the operating range may be less while the vehicle
is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you were
to start it.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry System on page 114.The following functions may be available if your
vehicle has the remote keyless entry system:
/(Remote Vehicle Start):If your vehicle has
this feature, it may be started from outside
the vehicle using the RKE transmitter. See
“Remote Vehicle Start” following for more detailed
information.

To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter do
the following:
1. Use a at object with a thin edge into the
notch, located below the trunk release
button, and separate the bottom half from
the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with
the positive side of the battery facing down.
Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent
type. Make sure the cover is on tightly,
so water will not get in.
4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter
together.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.
Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine from
outside of the vehicle. It may also start up the
vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems and
rear window defogger. Normal operation of the
system will return after the key is turned to the
RUN position.If your vehicle has an automatic climate control
system, during remote start, the climate control
system will default to a heating mode during colder
outside temperatures and a cooling mode during
warmer outside temperatures. If your vehicle
does not have an automatic climate control
system, during remote start the climate control
system will turn on at the setting the vehicle was
set to when the vehicle was last turned off.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using the remote start to have
the vehicle in view when doing so. Check
local regulations for any requirements on remote
starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation. However,
the range may be less while the vehicle is running.
As a result, you may need to be closer to your
vehicle to turn it off, than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote
Keyless Entry System on page 114for additional
information.

/(Remote Start):Press and release the lock
button and then press and hold the remote
start button to start the vehicle.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock
button, then immediately press and hold
the transmitter’s remote start button until the
turn signal lights ash. If you can not see
the vehicle’s lights, press and hold the remote
start button for at least four seconds. The
vehicle’s doors will lock. Pressing the remote
start button again after the vehicle has
started will turn off the ignition.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will
turn on and remain on while the vehicle is
running.
3. If it is your rst remote start since last driving,
repeat these steps while the engine is still
running for a 10 minute time extension.
Remote start can be extended one time.
When you enter the vehicle during a remote start,
and the engine is still running, turn the key to
the RUN position to drive the vehicle.If the vehicle is left running it will automatically
shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following:
Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and
press the remote start button until the
parking lamps turn off.
Turn on the hazards warning ashers.
Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The vehicle can be remote started two separate
times between driving sequences. The engine will
run for 10 minutes after each remote start.
Or, you can extend the engine run time by another
10 minutes within the rst 10 minute remote
start time frame, and before the engine stops.
For example, if the lock button and then the
remote start buttons are pressed again after
the vehicle has been running for ve minutes,
10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run
for 15 minutes.
The additional ten minutes are considered a
second remote vehicle start.
120

Once two remote starts, or a single remote start
with one time extension has been done, the
vehicle must be started with the key.
After the key is removed from the ignition, the
vehicle can be remote started again.
The vehicle cannot be remote started if the key
is in the ignition, the hood is not closed, or if there
is an emission control system malfunction.
Also, the engine will turn off during a remote
vehicle start if the coolant temperature gets too
high or if the oil pressure gets low.
Vehicles that have the remote vehicle start feature
are shipped from the factory with the remote
vehicle start system enabled. The system may
be enabled or disabled through the DIC.
See “REMOTE START” underDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 262
for additional information.Remote Start Ready
If your vehicle does not have the remote vehicle
start feature, it may have the remote start
ready feature. This feature allows your dealer to
add the manufacturer’s remote vehicle start
feature.
If your vehicle has the remote start ready feature,
your RKE transmitter will have extended range
that will allow you to lock or unlock your vehicle
from approximately 197 feet (60 m) away.
See your dealer if you would like to add the
manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature to
your vehicle.
121

Power Liftgate
Your vehicle has a power liftgate. The vehicle
must be in PARK (P) to power open or close the
liftgate.
The liftgate must be completely closed to power
open or completely open to power close.
The taillamps will ash and a chime will sound at
the beginning of each power operation cycle.
{CAUTION:
You or others could be injured if caught in
the path of the power liftgate. Make sure
there is no one in the way of the liftgate
as it is closing.
Notice:If you open the liftgate without
checking for overhead obstructions such as a
garage door, you could break the liftgate
glass. Always check to make sure the area
above the liftgate is clear before opening it.To open and close the liftgate, press and hold the
power liftgate button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter until the liftgate starts
moving. Press the RKE button a second time during
liftgate operation to reverse that operation. See
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 116for more information.
The liftgate can also be
opened and closed by
pressing the power
liftgate button on
the overhead console.
Press the button a
second time during
liftgate operation
to reverse that
operation.
The liftgate can be power opened by pressing the
touchpad switch on the liftgate handle. Press
the button a second time during liftgate operation
to reverse that operation.

Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
This is the security light.
To activate the theft-deterrent system, do the
following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter. The security light should
come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.
If a locked door is opened without using the RKE
transmitter, a ten second pre-alarm will occur.
The horn will chirp and the lights will ash.If the door is not unlocked by pressing the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
during the ten second pre-alarm, 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. You can choose different feedback options
for the alarm. SeeDriver Information Center
(DIC) on page 244Driver Information Center (DIC).
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key, the
manual door lock, or the power door lock switch.
It activates only if you use 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.

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.
Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a
second time, and depending on the brand of
the garage door opener or other rolling
code device, repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate your rolling-code equipped device.
To program the remaining two Universal
Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not
repeat Step 1, as this will erase all previous
programming from the Universal Home Remote
buttons.Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to time out or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not be long enough
for Universal Home Remote to pick up the signal
during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate
operators are manufactured to time out in
the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming Universal
Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the Universal Home
Remote button while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter
button until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator
light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” to complete.
