Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
Vehicles with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter
functions work up to 30 feet (9 m) away from the
vehicle.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-4.
UNLOCK: Press to unlock
the driver door and turn on
the interior lamps. The
parking lamps may flash
and the horn may sound.
Press UNLOCK again within three seconds and all of
the doors unlock.
LOCK: Press to lock all the doors. The parking lamps
may flash and the horn may sound.
If a door is open or ajar when LOCK is pressed, the
horn sounds several times to let you know the doors did
not lock and the content theft-deterrent system is not
armed. Pressing LOCK again while the horn is sounding
or within three seconds after the horn stops sounding,
the doors lock but the content theft-deterrent system
does not arm until the opened door is closed.
Different feedback modes can be programmed through
the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Remote
Keyless Entry Feedback” under DIC Operation and
Displays on page 3-35.
L (Panic): Press to make the horn sound and the
headlamps and taillamps flash for up to 30 seconds.
To turn them off wait for 30 seconds, or press
L again,
or start the vehicle.
Programming Transmitters to the
Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed to the vehicle will
work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased and programmed through your
dealer/retailer. When the replacement transmitter is
programmed to the vehicle, all remaining transmitters
must also be programmed. Any lost or stolen
transmitters no longer work once the new transmitter
is programmed. Each vehicle can have up to four
transmitters programmed to it.
