The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter functions will work up to 195 feet (60 m) away, however, the operating range may be less while the vehicle is running.

There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System .

(Lock): Press on the RKE transmitter to lock the doors and arm the theft-deterrent system. See Theft-Deterrent System for additional information. You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps will flash and/or the horn will sound when you lock the doors with the RKE transmitter. See DIC Vehicle Customization for more information on programming this feature.

You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps will flash when you unlock the doors with the RKE transmitter. See DIC Vehicle Customization for more information on programming this feature. If your vehicle is programmed for remote confirmation, the doors must be closed for this feature to work. If a door is open, remote confirmation will be canceled.

(Panic Alarm): Press and release to locate your vehicle. The turn signal lamps will flash and the horn will sound three times. Press and hold for more than two seconds to activate the panic alarm. The turn signal lamps will flash and the horn will sound repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm will turn off when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or is pressed again. The ignition must be in LOCK/OFF for the panic alarm to work.

(Power Liftgate): Press and hold to open and close the liftgate. The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound to indicate when the liftgate is opening and closing.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle

Each RKE 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/retailer. All transmitters need to be re-coded to match the new transmitter. The lost transmitter will no longer work after the new transmitters are re-coded. Each vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it. See RELEARN REMOTE KEY under DIC Operation and Displays

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if the REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY message displays in the DIC. See "REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY" under DIC Warnings and Messages

Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

To replace the battery:

1. Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the notch, located above the metal base.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
4. Put the transmitter back together tightly.
