If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System, you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button. If you are involved in a panic situation, press
this button and your vehicle's horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will not work if your
ignition is on or if the transmitter is 30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Transmitter Range
The range of your keyless entry system should be about
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in the
range. This is normal for any keyless entry system. If
the transmitter does not work, or you have to stand

See the instructions for battery replacement.
0

distance. You may have to stand closer to your
vehicle in rain or snow.

the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
0
You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.

qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the keyless entry system. The transmitter
does not send the same signal twice to the receiver. The
receiver will not respond to a signal it has been sent
previously. This prevents anyone from recoding and
playing back the signal from the transmitter. To
resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
0
While
standing close to your vehicle, at the same
time press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
on the transmitter for about eight seconds. The door
locks should cycle and the parking lamps should
flash to confirm synchronization. If this does not
happen, you may need to replace the battery in your
transmitter or match the transmitter to vour vehicle.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal, Take a few steps to the right or left.
