You can lock and unlock the vehicle's doors and the liftgate using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
The remote keyless entry transmitter shown here is for a vehicle equipped with the remote vehicle start feature and dual power sliding doors.
The remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle will only contain the buttons specific to your vehicle's factory installed remote system features.
(Remote Vehicle Start): If your vehicle has this feature, you can start the engine from outside the vehicle. See "Remote Vehicle Start" at the end of this section for more detailed information.You can operate the power sliding door(s) with the remote keyless entry transmitter even if the power sliding door override switch(es), on the overhead console, are active or inactive. See Power Sliding Door (PSD) for additional information.
If the sliding door is closed and the power sliding door button on the transmitter is pressed and held, the vehicle's doors will unlock and then the power sliding door will open. If the power sliding door has been locked using the manual door lock lever, you will need to unlock the power sliding door before it can be opened with the keyless entry transmitter sliding door button.
If your vehicle's fuel filler door is opened, the driver's side power sliding door will not open completely. Do not try to force the door. Once the fuel filler door is closed, the driver's side sliding door can be opened normally.
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 retailer. Remember to bring any remaining transmitters with you when you go to your retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once your retailer 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.
See your retailer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
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 will not work at the normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works, it is probably time to change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.
This feature allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. It may also turn the rear window defogger if the outside temperature is below 45°F (7°C).
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
