VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the vehicle doors, hood and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button for un-
authorized operation. While the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm is armed, inte-
rior switches for door locks and
decklid release are disabled. If some-
thing triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will provide the fol-
lowing audible and visible signals: the
horn will pulse, the park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster will flash.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off
all of the visual signals after an addi-
tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Transmitter and receivers operate on
a carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform
to specific regulations in each indi-
vidual country. Two sets of regula-
tions are involved: ETS (European
Telecommunication Standard) 300–
220, which most countries use, and
German BZT federal regulation
225Z125, which is based on ETC
300–220 but has additional unique
requirements. Other defined require-
ments are noted in ANNEX VI of
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/
EC. Operation is subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
 This device may not cause harmful
interference.
 This device must accept any inter- ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired op-
eration.
If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions: 1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the

Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.WARNING!
 For personal security and safetyin the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could op-
erate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle. POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the
OFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lockthe vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the in-
side and outside of the vehicle for any
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters.
If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry
RKE transmitters is detected inside
the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle doors and chirps the horn three
times (on the third attempt ALL
doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the
doors when the doors are locked
using the door panel switch, a
valid Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ter is detected inside the vehicle,
and no valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter is detected outside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not un-
lock the doors when any of the fol-
lowing conditions are true:
 The doors are locked using the
RKE transmitter.Grabbing The Driver's Door Handle
