REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

Remote Vehicle Start System

(if equipped)

The features of the Remote Keyless

Entry (RKE) transmitter include:

(Remote Start): 

If your vehicle has

this feature, it 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

off after a short delay once all doors are

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 park-

ing 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 trans-

mitter is pressed and held for approxi-

mately 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 approxi-

mately one second to locate your vehi-

cle. 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 min-

utes. 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 using

the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.

(Normal transmitter range is within

approximately 200 feet of the vehicle.)

The remote start capability must be

turned on using the Driver Information

Center in order for the Remote Vehicle

Start System to function. (See Driver

Information Center.)
You can also set the vehicle’s climate

control system to heat or cool the vehi-

cle interior before getting in.
