With this feature, you can lock and unlock the doors and liftgate, open and close the liftgate, and turn on your vehicle's interior lamps from up to 65 feet (20 m) away using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter supplied with your vehicle.

You will have one of the RKE transmitters below.

(Lock): Press this symbol on the RKE transmitter to lock the doors. This also arms the theft-deterrent system. See Theft-Deterrent System for additional information. You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps will flash and/or the horn will sound when you lock the doors with the RKE transmitter. See DIC Vehicle Customization for more information on programming this feature.

(Unlock): Press this symbol on the RKE transmitter to unlock the driver's door. This also disarms the theft-deterrent system. Press the button again, within five seconds, to unlock the rest of the doors. You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps will flash when you unlock the doors with the RKE transmitter. See DIC Vehicle Customization for more information on programming this feature. If your vehicle is programmed for remote confirmation, the doors must be closed for this feature to work. If a door is open, remote confirmation will be canceled.

(Panic Alarm): Press and release this button to locate your vehicle. The turn signal lamps will flash and the horn will sound three times. Press and hold this button for more than two seconds to activate the panic alarm. The turn signal lamps will flash and the horn will sound repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm will turn off when the ignition is turned to ON or the alarm button is pressed again. The ignition must be in OFF for the panic alarm to work.

(Power Liftgate): Press and hold this button on the RKE transmitter to open and close the liftgate. The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound to indicate when the liftgate is opening and closing.

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 dealer/retailer. Remember to bring any additional transmitters with you so that all of them can be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once your dealer/retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it.

Battery Replacement

Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter should last about four years.

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, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter:

1. Use a flat object with a thin edge into the notch, located below the trunk release button, and separate the bottom half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery , but do not use a metal object to do this.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with the positive side of the battery facing down. Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type. Make sure the cover is on tightly, so water will not get in.
4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter together.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the vehicle.
