CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS

• When these locks are set, the

the inside.

• The rear doors can be opened

The childproof locks are located on

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of

Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device

must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

The typical operating range for your remote entry transmitter is

approximately 33 feet (10 meters). A decrease in operating range could

be caused by:

• weather conditions,

• nearby radio towers,

• structures around the vehicle, or

• other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.

Locks and Security

The remote entry system allows you

to lock or unlock all vehicle doors

and liftgate, open the liftgate

window without a key and activate

the panic alarm.

The remote entry lock/unlock

feature operates in any ignition

position. The liftgate glass feature

operates as long as the vehicle’s

speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).

The panic feature operates with the

key in the off position.

If there is any potential remote keyless entry problem with your vehicle,

ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are brought to the authorized

dealer to aid in troubleshooting.

Two-step door unlocking

1. Press

and release to unlock the driver’s door. Note: The interior

lamps will illuminate (refer to the Illuminated entry feature later in this

section) if the control on the overhead lamp is not set to the off

position and the perimeter alarm system (if equipped) will deactivate.

2. Press

and release again within three seconds to unlock the

passenger doors, the liftgate and liftgate window.

The battery saver feature will turn off the interior lamps 30 minutes after

the ignition is turned to the off position.

One-step door unlocking

If the one-step door unlocking feature is activated, press

and release

once to unlock all of the doors, the liftgate and liftgate window. Note:

The interior lamps will illuminate (refer to the Illuminated entry feature

later in this section). If the control on the overhead lamp is in the door

position, the perimeter alarm system (if equipped) will deactivate.

Switching from two-step to one-step door unlocking

Your vehicle comes with two-step unlocking enabled. Unlocking can be

switched between two-step and one-step door unlocking by pressing and

holding both the

and

buttons simultaneously on the remote entry

transmitter for approximately four seconds. The parklamps will flash

twice to indicate that the vehicle has switched to one-step unlocking.

transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or take all

remote entry transmitters to your authorized dealer for

reprogramming.
