for more information.
The following features, if available on your vehicle, can
be programmed to each driver’s preference.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks

Security Feedback
This feature provides feedback to the driver when the
vehicle receives a command from the remote keyless
entry transmitter. Feedback is only provided if all doors
are closed, the ignition is off and the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is inactive.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information

Each remote keyless entry transmitter can be
programmed to a different mode according to the user’s
preference. To change to another mode, do the
following:
1. Keep all doors closed, the vehicle in PARK (P) and
the ignition on throughout this procedure.
2. Press and hold the driver’s power door lock switch
in LOCK through Step 4.
3. Press the button with the trunk symbol on the
transmitter. The transmitter will remain in its
current mode and the horn will chirp as feedback.
4. Press the button with the trunk symbol again. Each
time the transmitter’s trunk button is pressed, the
mode will advance by one, going from Mode 2 to 3
to 4, etc. and the horn will chirp as feedback.
5. Release the power door lock switch. The security
feedback will remain in the most recent mode
selected.
To verify the mode selected, remove the key from the
ignition and close all of the doors after you have
exited the vehicle. Press the lock button on the
transmitter to be veried and conrm the appropriate
feedback. Repeat with the unlock button.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 additional transmitters to your
vehicle.
2-7

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 will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is probably time to change the battery.
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.
To replace the battery, do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin, or similar object, into the notch
near the key ring. Turn it 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. Use one
Duracell
®battery, type DL-2032, or a similar type.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially children — can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle will not open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors are not locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
If your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system and it is
activated, unlock the doors only with the key or remote
keyless entry system. This will avoid setting off the
alarm. SeeUniversal Theft-Deterrent on page 2-19for
more information.
To unlock the door from the outside, use your door key
or remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).
Turning the door key toward the rear of the vehicle will
unlock the door. Turning the door key toward the
front of the vehicle will lock it.

vehicle. When the driver’s power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter lock button is pressed,
with the key removed from the ignition and the driver’s
door open, a chime will sound three times to signal that
the delayed locking system is active. When all doors have
been closed, the doors will lock automatically after
ve seconds. If any door is opened before this, the
ve-second timer will reset itself once all the doors have
been closed again.
Pressing a power door lock switch or the remote
keyless entry transmitter lock button again will override
this feature.
