The Keyless Access System transmitter functions will work up to 195 feet (60 m) away, however, the operating range may be less while the vehicle is running.

The Keyless Access System also lets you lock and unlock the vehicle's doors and access the trunk without removing the remote transmitter from your pocket, purse, briefcase, etc. The system operates when a front door handle is pulled or the remote trunk release button is pressed. You must have the keyless access transmitter with you and within 3 feet (1 m) of the door or trunk you are opening. See "Keyless Locking" and "Keyless Unlock" under DIC Vehicle Customization .

There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter. See Keyless Access System .

With Remote Start Shown, Without Similar

Your vehicle comes with two transmitters.

[block ] (Lock): Press to lock the doors. The turn signal indicators will flash. If [block ] is pressed twice, the doors will lock, the turn signal indicators will flash twice, and the horn will sound once. You can program your vehicle so the turn signal indicators will not flash and the horn will not sound when pressing [block ] on the keyless access transmitter. For more information see "Remote Door Lock" under DIC Vehicle Customization .

(Unlock): Press once to unlock the driver's door. The turn signal indicators will flash twice. Press twice within five seconds to unlock all the doors. If it is dark enough outside, your interior lamps will come on. You can program your vehicle so the turn signal indicators will not flash and the fog lamps and reverse lamps remain on steady for about 20 seconds when the keyless access transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle. See "Remote Door Unlock" under DIC Vehicle Customization . If your vehicle has the memory feature you can program and recall memory settings when you press on the keyless access transmitter. See Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel for more information.

(Remote Start): If your vehicle has this feature, press after pressing [block ] to operate the remote start feature. See Remote Vehicle Start for additional information.

(Trunk): Press and hold for about one second to open the trunk while the engine is turned off or the shift lever is in PARK (P).

(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm): Press and release to locate your vehicle. The horn will chirp three times and the turn signal lamps will flash three times. Press and hold for three seconds to sound the panic alarm. The horn will chirp and the turn signal lamps will flash for 30 seconds. Press and release again to cancel the panic alarm.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle

Each Keyless Access System is coded to allow only transmitters programmed to your vehicle to work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer/retailer. Your dealer/retailer can reprogram your vehicle so lost or stolen transmitters no longer work with your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters matched to it.

To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when you have a recognized transmitter, do the following. Two recognized transmitters are required for Canadian owners.

1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized transmitter and the new, unrecognized transmitter(s) with you.
3. Insert the key into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver's door.
4. Turn the key to the unlock position five times within five seconds.
5. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display Ready To Learn Electronic Key #X, where X can be 2, 3 or 4.



6. Place the new, unrecognized transmitter into the transmitter pocket with the transmitter buttons facing the front of the vehicle. The transmitter pocket is inside the center console storage area located between the driver and front passenger seats.
7. Once the transmitter is programmed, a beep will sound. The DIC will display Ready To Learn Electronic Key #X, where X can be 3 or 4, or Maximum # Electronic Keys Learned.
8. Press the ignition control knob to exit programming mode.
9. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press the unlock button on the keyless access transmitter two times.

The Canadian immobilizer standard requires Canadian owners to see their dealer/retailer for matching new transmitters when two recognized transmitters are not available. United States owners are permitted to match a new transmitter to their vehicle when a recognized transmitter is not available.

The procedure will require three, ten minute cycles to complete the matching process.

1. The vehicle must be off.



2. Place the new, unrecognized transmitter into the transmitter pocket with the transmitter buttons facing the front of the vehicle. The transmitter pocket is inside the center console storage area located between the driver and front passenger seats.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder located on the driver's door.
4. Turn the key to the unlock position five times within five seconds.
5. The DIC will display Press Start Control To Learn Keys.
6. Press the ignition switch in.
7. The DIC will read Learn Delay Active Wait XX Min and will count down to zero, one minute at a time.
8. The DIC will display Press Start Control To Learn Keys again.
9. Press the ignition switch in again.
10. The DIC will again read Learn Delay Active Wait XX Min and will count down to zero, one minute at a time.
11. The DIC will display Press Start Control To Learn Keys again.
12. Press the ignition switch in again.
13. The DIC will again read Learn Delay Active Wait XX Min and will count down to zero, one minute at a time.
14. A beep will sound and the DIC will read Ready To Learn Electronic Key # X. At this time, all previously known transmitters have been erased.
15. Once the transmitter is recognized and programmed, a beep will sound and the DIC will display Ready To Learn Electronic Key # X.
16. To program additional transmitters, insert each transmitter in the pocket until you hear a beep and the DIC advances to the next electronic key number.
17. When complete, press the ignition control knob.
18. Press the unlock button on each transmitter programmed to complete programming.

Up to four transmitters can be programmed to the vehicle. The DIC will display Maximum # Electronic Keys Learned and will exit the programming mode.

After performing this process, transmitters previously programmed will no longer work with your vehicle and must be reprogrammed.

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if the Replace Battery In Remote Key message displays in the DIC. See "Replace Battery In Remote Key" under DIC Warnings and Messages for additional information.

A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display Electronic Key Not Detected when you try to start the vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter in the center console storage area transmitter pocket with the buttons facing to the front of the vehicle. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the ignition control knob. See Starting the Engine , for additional information about your vehicle's electronic keyless ignition with push start. Although this will start the vehicle, it is recommended that you replace the transmitter battery as soon as possible.

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:

1. Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the slot on the side or back of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing down. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
4. Put the transmitter back together tightly.
