Remote Keyless Entry System
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your 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 only
four transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match additional transmitters to
your vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.

2-15
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch any
of the circuitry. Static from your body transferred
to these surfaces may damage the transmitter.
For battery replacement, use one Duracell
battery, type
DL
-2032, or a similar type.To replace the battery:
1. Insert a thin coin into the notch near the key ring.
Turn the coin counterclockwise to separate the
two halves of the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil eraser
to remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Remove and replace the battery. Replace it as the
instructions inside the cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.

2-16
Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting on
OUTSIDE AIR or with RECIRC turned off.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the master
key and turn it.
Remote Trunk Release (Option)
If you have this option,
press the trunk release
button located in the glove
box to open the trunk lid.
The key does not have to be in the ignition for the
remote trunk button to work. The transaxle must be in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). The system also works
with the remote keyless entry system, if your vehicle has
this feature.

2-17 Remote Trunk Release Lockout (Option)
To secure items in the trunk, lock the glove box with the
master key and take your key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you. The valet key cannot open the
trunk or the glovebox.
Trunk Security Override (Option)
Pressing the trunk symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter opens the trunk even if the glove box
is locked.
Trunk Release Handle (If Equipped)
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle located
in the trunk near the trunk latch. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the release handle up to
open the trunk from the inside.

2-18
Theft
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. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
With the ignition off and the driver's door open, you'll
hear a tone reminding you to remove your key from the
ignition and take it with you. Always do this. Your
steering wheel will be locked, and so will your ignition
and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.

Close all windows.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the master
key with you.

2-19
Universal Theft-Deterrent
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the SECURITY light will
flash as you open the door (if your ignition is in OFF).
This light on the instrument
panel cluster reminds you to
activate the theft
-deterrent
system when leaving
your vehicle.
To activate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped). The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after about 30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and then
shuts off while the ignition is on, the security system has
detected a problem. See your dealer for service.
If a door is opened without the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter, or if the door key cylinders are
damaged, the alarm will go off. The exterior lamps will
flash and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will
go off in order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch while
the door is open, or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Avoid setting off the alarm by accident.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
pressing the button with the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm won't stop if
you try to unlock a door any other way.
