All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with the trunk
symbol is pressed twice within five seconds, as long as
the ignition is turned to the

40
seconds (or until the ignition switch
is

Operating the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter may
interact with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenUAlarm System (if you have this option).
See “Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrenVAlarm
System” in the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System, you will have a fourth
button
on
your transmitter. This button is the panic
button. If you are involved in a panic situation, press
this button and your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition
to
the
RUN position. Note:
This
feature will not work if your
ignition is on or if the transmitter is
