W(Unlock):Press this symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter to unlock the driver’s door. This also
disarms the theft-deterrent system. SeeManual

Your vehicle can be programmed so that the parking
lamps will ash and/or the horn will sound when
you unlock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See your retailer for more information on
programming this feature.
L(Panic Alarm):The remote keyless entry
transmitter comes equipped with an instant panic alarm.
Press the horn symbol when the ignition is turned off.
The horn will sound and the parking lamps and
dome lamp will ash for up to two minutes. To stop
the instant panic alarm, press the symbol again.
V(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
approximately one second to open the trunk. If the
vehicle’s speed is faster than 2 mph (3 km/h), the
trunk will not open when this button is pressed.The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system. The system
will arm when the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter pressed. The system will disarm
when the unlock button is pressed.
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 retailer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your retailer. When the retailer 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.
