CAUTION
Do not expose the transmitter to severe shocks, such as those
experienced as a result of dropping or throwing. Do not take the transmitter apart except when replacing the
battery. Do not get the transmitter wet. If it gets wet, wipe it dry with a
cloth immediately. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the followingtwo conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle.
The keyless entry system has the following functions. Locking and unlocking the doors (and rear gate on the station wagon)
without a key Sounding a panic alarm
Arming and disarming the security system (if your vehicle is equipped
with an optional security system). See the next section “Security system
(if equipped) ” for detailed information.
The operable distance of the keyless entry system is approximately 30
feet (10 meters). However, this distance will vary depending on environ-
mental conditions. Range may be reduced near sources of RF interfer-
ence such as power plants and radio/television broadcasting towers.
The keyless entry system does not operate when the key is inserted in the ignition switch.

If the “LOCK/ARM” button is pressed before 30 seconds have
elapsed, these lights will go out. Also, these lights will go out if the key
is inserted in the ignition switch. The interior light must be set to the
middle position in order for this function to operate.
Sounding a panic alarm
To activate the alarm, keep the “LOCK/ARM” button pressed for more
than two seconds .
To deactivate it, press the “LOCK/ARM” button or “UNLOCK/DISARM”
button. Unless a button on the remote is pressed, the alarm will be
deactivated after approximately 30 seconds. Selecting audible signal operation
Using the horn, the system will give you an audible signal when the
doors lock and unlock. If desired, you may turn the audible signal off.
To turn the audible signal off, unlock the doors by pushing “UNLOCK/
DISARM” button and then simultaneously depress “LOCK/ARM” and
“UNLOCK/DISARM” buttons for more than two seconds. The horn will
sound two times to inform you that the audible signal has been turned
off.
To turn the audible signal on, unlock the doors by pushing “UNLOCK/
DISARM” button and then simultaneously depress “LOCK/ARM” and
“UNLOCK/DISARM” buttons for more than two seconds. The horn will
sound one time to inform you that the audible signal has been turnedon. Replacing the battery
CAUTION
Do not let dust, oil or water get on or in the transmitter when
replacing the battery.
When the transmitter battery begins to get weak, transmitter range will
begin to decrease and the LED will not illuminate. Replace the batteryas soon as possible.

times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If
you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and
the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmittercodes in the system ’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If
someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while youare programming your transmitters, it is possible that their trans-mitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing themunauthorized access to your vehicle.
Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and the parking lights flash if someone attempts
to break into your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to prevent
starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted into the ignitionswitch. System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indications when trig-
gered: The parking lights will flash and the horn will sound intermittently.
In addition, the starter motor will not operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds; however, the
alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarmwill continue for six times if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid.
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g. breaking glass or
forced entry). Note that there are two alarm levels for shock: warning

2-14
and alarm. In warning mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations
and triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes on the
lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In alarm mode, higher lev-
els of shock are detected and the system will go into full alarm.Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE
With the valet mode selected, the security system does not oper-
ate and the parking lights do not flash when the remote transmit-ter is used for locking and unlocking.The security system indicator light in the combination meter
flashes twice per second to show that the valet mode is selected.For details, refer to “Valet mode ” in this section.

In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote
transmitter or with the power door locking switches. If the remote
transmitter or power door lock switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm-
ing will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the pas-sive mode has been selected. Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the “UNLOCK/DISARM” button on
the transmitter. Tripped sensor identification
If the horn sounds four times and the parking lights flash four times
when you disarm the system, this indicates that the alarm was trig-
gered. The number of times the indicator light flashes indicates what
sensor caused the alarm condition.
To enter identification mode:
1. Open the driver ’s door and leave it open.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position two times. ( “LOCK”
“ON” “LOCK” “ON” “LOCK”)
3. The indicator light will start flashing.
The indicator light provides the following indications. Flashing one time: Any door, the rear gate or the trunk lid has been
opened.
Flashing three times: The impact sensor in the system ’s unit has
been activated. This may indicate that your vehicle has been shocked
or tampered with by some outside force and/or unauthorized person.Flashing four times: The ignition switch has been turned on or the
battery has been disconnected.
NOTE The battery must be reconnected before the indicator light will flash.
To exit this mode, close the door and turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position.

Starting and operating7-27

In the event of wheelspin and/or skidding on a slippery road surface
and/or during cornering and/or an evasive maneuver, the VDC systemadjusts the engine ’s output and the wheels ’ respective braking forces to
help maintain traction and directional control.
Traction Control Function
The traction control function is designed to prevent spinning of the
driving wheels on slippery road surfaces, thereby helping to maintain
traction and directional control. Activation of this function is shown bysteady illumination of the VDC operation indicator light. Skid Suppression Function
The skid suppression function is designed to help maintain directional
stability by suppressing the wheels ’ tendency to slide sideways dur-
ing steering operations. Activation of this function is shown by flash-ing of the VDC operation indicator light.
NOTE Slight twitching of the brake pedal may be felt when the VDC-sys-
tem operates; a small degree of vehicle or steering wheel shaking may also be noticed in this situation. These are normal characteris-tics of VDC operation and are no cause for alarm. When driving off immediately after starting the engine, a short-
lived operation noise may be noticed coming from the enginecompartment. This noise is generated as a result of a check beingperformed on the VDC system and is normal. Depending on the timing of activation of the brakes, certain situa-
tions may occur just after driving off where the brake pedal seemsto exhibit a jolting motion. This too is a consequence of the VDCoperational check and is normal. Activation of the VDC system will cause operation of the steering
wheel to feel slightly different compared to that for normal condi-tions. Even if the vehicle is equipped with a VDC system, it is important
that winter tires be used when driving on snow-covered or icyroads. (All four wheels should be fitted with tires of the same sizeand brand).
