qKeyless Entry System
This system remotely locks and unlocks
the doors and opens the trunk lid.
It can also help you signal for attention.
Press the button slowly and carefully.
NOTE
The keyless entry system is designed
l
to operate up to about 2.5 m (8 ft)
from the center of the vehicle, but
this may vary due to local
conditions.
The system does not operate when
l
the ignition switch is not in the
LOCK position or the start knob is
pushed in.
With the start knob installed in the
l
LOCK position, the system is fully
operational. If the ignition switch is
not in the LOCK position or the start
knob is pushed in, the system does
not operate.
Both doors cannot be locked by
l
pressing the lock button while either
door is open. The hazard warning
lights will also not flash.
If the transmitter does not operate
l
when pressing a button or the
operational range becomes too small,
the battery may be dead. To install a
new battery, refer to Maintenance
(page 3-5).
