Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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 retailer 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.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
used to arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system.
Your vehicle’s theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Active Arming:The system will arm when the
lock button on the RKE transmitter is pressed.
The system will disarm when the unlock button
is pressed.
Passive Arming:Passive Arming can only be
enabled by the retailer. If enabled, the system will
arm itself one minute after the ignition is turned
off and the driver’s door has been opened
and closed. If the lock button on the transmitter is
pressed before the minute has passed, the
system will arm immediately. The system will
disarm when the unlock button is pressed.If you accidentally set off the alarm when
entering/exiting the vehicle, you can shut it off by
pressing any button on the RKE transmitter
other than the panic alarm button.
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
unlock button on the RKE transmitter, this
indicates that the alarm was triggered while you
were away from your vehicle.

attention to the warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As the details show on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briey when you start
the engine just to let you know they are working.
If you are familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often
gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there is a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on as you are driving, or when one of the
gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly and even dangerous.
So please get to know your vehicle’s warning lights
and gages. They can be a big help.
Your vehicle also has a message center that
works along with the warning lights and gages.
