The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter functions work up to 65 feet (20 m) away from the vehicle.

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

Hatchback

Sedan

The following functions may be available if the vehicle has RKE:

(Lock): Press to lock all of the doors. If all of the doors and the trunk or liftgate are closed, the hazard lamps flash once and the horn will sound to indicate that locking has occurred and the theft-deterrent system is active.

(Unlock): Press to unlock all of the doors. The hazard lamps flash twice to indicate that unlocking has occurred and that the theft-deterrent system is deactivated. If the doors are not opened within 30 seconds the doors will lock again.

(Panic) (Hatchback): Press to sound the panic alarm. The hazard lamps will flash and the panic alarm will stay on for about 30 seconds. Press any of the buttons on the transmitter to turn off the alarm.

(Remote Trunk Release) (Sedan): Press and hold for approximately one second to open the trunk.

The LED light (A) on the transmitter flashes when the buttons on the transmitter are pressed. If the light does not flash see "Battery Replacement" later in this section.

The buttons do not operate and the theft-deterrent system does not activate if the key is in the ignition.

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 five transmitters programmed to it.

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if the LED on the transmitter does not flash when you press the buttons.

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. Remove the screw from the back of the cover and open the cover of the transmitter.
2. Pull the transmitter out of the cover and carefully turn the circle cover of the transmitter unit toward open.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Use one three-volt, CR1620, or equivalent, type battery.
5. Turn the circle cover of the transmitter unit toward close and put the transmitter unit in the cover.
6. Put the two halves back together and replace the screw. Make sure the cover is on tightly, so water will not get in.
7. Test the transmitter operation.
