To lock all the doors, press LOCK on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. (See ªPower Door Locksº in the Index
for more details on power door lock features). If your
vehicle is equipped with the content theft
-deterrent
system, the LOCK button may arm the system. See
ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for more details.Remote Lock/Unlock Confirmation (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
remote keyless entry transmitter that a command has
been received by the keyless entry receiver. To signal
that a command has been received, the headlamps will
flash and the horn will sound briefly. To program the
various modes available, see ªLocks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index.

-button
remote keyless entry transmitter, the headlamps will
flash and the horn will sound. This will allow you to
attract attention if needed.

To replace the battery:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the
side of the transmitter and twist to separate
the halves.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not
use the metal flanges to ªpop outº the battery.
3. Put the new battery into the transmitter as shown on
the transmitter. Use a type CR2032 battery, or
equivalent type.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves are
snapped together tightly so water will not get in.
5. Check the transmitter operation. If needed, follow
the instructions on resynchronization.Resynchronization
Your remote keyless entry system uses a continually
changing code for increased security. Normally, the
receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this
changing code.

Loss of synchronization will occur if the transmitter
is activated more than 256 times while out of range
of the vehicle.

Loss of synchronization will occur after battery
replacement if the transmitter is immediately
activated more than 16 times while out of range of
the vehicle.
If your remote keyless entry transmitter has stopped
working, you may need to resynchronize the transmitter
to the vehicle receiver. To do this, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons at the same time and hold for at least
seven seconds (or until the horn sounds, when equipped
with content theft
-deterrent).
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to have your
dealer match the transmitter to the vehicle. See
ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicleº in the Index.

A red light located on top of the instrument panel
(toward the center of the vehicle, near the windshield)
will flash slowly when the system is armed.While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. The alarm will sound if someone
damages the vehicle, tampers with the trunk lock, enters

ignition on. The horn will sound and the headlamps will
flash for up to two minutes. The system will also cut
