Transmitter Verification (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the remote
keyless entry transmitter that a command has been
received by the keyless entry receiver. The headlamps and
back
-
up lamps will flash on every lock and the first unlock
command, and the horn will sound once for every lock
and twice for the first unlock command. Silent operation
and other options may be selected for this feature. See
“Vehicle Customization Settings” in the Index.
If your vehicle has the optional content theft
-
deterrent
system, the first time the remote unlock is received, three
flashes will be seen and three horn chirps heard to indicate
an alarm condition has occurred since last arming. See
“Content Theft
-
Deterrent System” in the Index.
Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature provides interior illumination when a
remote keyless entry door unlock command is received
and executed, the trunk release button is pressed or
when the panic alarm is activated. The interior lamps
will illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON or until
an illumination period of 40 seconds has elapsed or the
doors are locked with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. If a door is opened
during the illumination period, the timed illumination
will be canceled, and the interior lamps will remain on.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
If you prefer, you can complete this procedure yourself.
See “Vehicle Customization Settings” in the Index for
more information.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three 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.
