Remote Keyless Entry

The RKE system locks and unlocks the
doors and liftglass from a range of three
to 30 feet. At times the range may be
shorter than usual, which is normal. If
the transmitter doesn't seem to be work-
ing properly:
• Ensure that you are within transmitter
range of the vehicle. Rainy and
snowy weather can reduce
transmitter range
• Check to see whether other vehicles
or obstacles are blocking the
transmitter signal by stepping a few
feet to the left or right, and hold the
transmitter higher when pressing the
button(s)
• Consider the length of time that the
transmitter battery has been in
service and replace it if necessary
Note: If the UNLOCK button is pressed
and no door is opened, the doors will
lock automatically after 30 seconds.
• To open the liftglass with the RKE
transmitter, press and hold the
HATCH button steadily for two
seconds
• The door lock/unlock functions will
not operate if any door/liftgate is open
or if the key is in the ignition
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Content Theft-Deterrent
System (optional)
The Content Theft-
Deterrent System
has a red indicator
lamp to the left of the
steering wheel that is
labeled SECURITY.
After closing all vehi-
cle doors, the system
can be activated in
three ways:
• Press the LOCK button on the
Remote Keyless Entry key fob
• Press the power door LOCK button
• Lock the front doors manually with
the key
The system arms itself following a 30-
second delay. At this time, the red
SECURITY indicator light flashes.
If the alarm is tripped, the horn sounds
in intermittent blasts. The headlamps,
turn signals and interior lights also flash
to get visual attention. The alarm
sounds whenever any door or hatch is
opened by force, or if the battery is dis-
connected and then reconnected. The
alarm will also sound whenever it is
armed and the rear hatch or liftglass is
opened with a key.
