feature can be used to start the engine.
(See Remote Vehicle Start System.)
(Lock): Press this button to lock all
the doors. The interior lamps will turn

closed. If enabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC), the parking
lamps will flash once and/or the horn
will chirp to indicate locking has
occurred.
(Unlock): Press this button to unlock
the driver’s door. If the button is pressed
again within five seconds, all remaining
doors will unlock. The interior lamps
will illuminate and remain on for 10
seconds or until the ignition is turned
on. If enabled through the DIC, the parking lamps will flash twice and the horn
will chirp twice to indicate unlocking
has occurred.
(Trunk Release): The trunk
will unlatch when this button on the
transmitter is pressed and held for
approximately one second. You can
open the trunk with the transmitter
when the vehicle is stationary.
The trunk may also be opened using the
Trunk Release button located on the
driver-side door.
(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm):
Press and hold this button for approximately one second to locate your
vehicle. The horn will sound three times
and the headlamps and parking lamps
will flash three times.
To sound the panic alarm, press and
hold the button for three seconds. The
horn will sound and the headlamps and
parking lamps will flash for two minutes. Press the button again to cancel
the panic alarm.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Remote Keyless Entry
This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by

its last setting before the vehicle was
turned off. With automatic climate
control (if equipped), the system will
default to a heating or cooling mode
based on outside temperature.

following:
• Press and hold the (Remote
Start) button until the parking lamps

RKE Transmitter Battery
Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
should last about two years. You can
tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t work at the normal range in
any location. If you have to get close to
your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the
battery. Your Driver Information Center
will also advise you when the battery is
becoming weak.
Replace the Battery
1. Use a flat, thin object to separate
the bottom half from the top half of
the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it
with a new one. Make sure the
positive side of the battery faces up.
3. Put the two halves back together.
Make sure they are tightly secured.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Note: When replacing the battery, use one
3-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery. Use
care not to touch any of the transmitter
circuitry. Static from your body transferred
to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.
