B Locking the doors

Briefly press the “LOCK/ARM” button (for less than two seconds) to

lock all doors (and rear gate on the station wagon). An electronic

chirp will sound one time and the turn signal lights will flash one time.

If any of the doors (or the rear gate) is not fully closed, an electronic

chirp will sound five times and the turn signal lights will flash five

times to alert you that the doors (or the rear gate) are not properly

closed. When you close the door, it will automatically lock.

er, the panic alarm will sound. When locking the doors in normal

circumstances, press the “LOCK/ALARM” button for less than

two seconds. For details on the panic alarm, refer to “Sounding

two times and the turn signal lights will flash two times. To unlock all

doors (and rear gate on the station wagon), briefly press the

“UNLOCK/DISARM” button a second time within 5 seconds.

NOTE

2-8

LOCK/DISARM” button (for unlocking of all of the doors and the

rear gate) is extremely short, the system may not respond.

B Illuminated entry

The interior (dome) light will illuminate when the “UNLOCK/DISARM”

button is pressed. These lights stay illuminated for approximately 30

seconds if any of the doors (or the rear gate on the station wagon) is

not opened.

If the “LOCK/ARM” button is pressed before 30 seconds have

elapsed, these lights will go out. Also, these lights will go out if the key

is inserted in the ignition switch. The interior light must be set to the

middle position in order for this function to operate.

J Vehicle finder function

Use this functon to find your vehicle parked among many vehicles in a

large parking lot. Provided you are within 30 feet (10 meters) of the ve-

hicle, pressing the “LOCK/ARM” button three times in a five-second peri-

od will cause your vehicle’s horn to sound one time and its turn signal

lights to flash three times.

B Sounding a panic alarm

To activate the alarm, keep the “LOCK/ARM” button pressed for more

than two seconds.

The horn will sound and the turn signal lights will flash.

To deactivate it, press the “LOCK/ARM” button or “UNLOCK/DISARM”

button. Unless a button on the remote is pressed, the alarm will be

deactivated after approximately 30 seconds.

To replace the battery:

1. Remove the two screws on the back of the transmitter case by

using a phillips screwdriver.

2. Separate the case.

3. Remove the old battery from the holder.

4. Replace with a new battery (Type CR2032 or equivalent) making

sure to install the new battery with the positive (+) side facing up.

5. Install the back half of the transmitter case.

6. Reinstall the two screws on the back of the transmitter case.

After the battery is replaced, the transmitter must be synchro-

2-10

nized with the keyless entry system’s control unit. Press either

the “LOCK/ARM” or “UNLOCK/DISARM” button six times to syn-

chronize the unit.

B Replacing lost transmitters

If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional transmitters

(up to four can be programmed), you should re-program all of your

transmitters for security reasons. It is recommended that you have

your dealer program all of your transmitters into your system.

n Programming the transmitters

The keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning

feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the sys-

tem or to delete old ones. The system can learn up to four unique

transmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or dif-

ferent.

To enter the programming mode:

equipped).

1. Disarm the security system. (if your vehicle is equipped with the

optional security system.)

2. Open the driver’s door and sit in the driver’s seat.

4. Place the ignition key into the ignition switch and cycle the switch

from LOCK to ON ten times within 15 seconds. Be sure to stop at the

LOCK position. The horn will sound once to indicate that you are in

the transmitter programming mode.

NOTE

You must finish the next step (opening the driver’s door) within

45 seconds of starting this procedures.

HB1000DB

HB1005BB

3 Press any button.

1. Open the driver’s door.

2. Close the driver’s door.

3. Press and release any button on the transmitter that you wish to

program into the system. The horn will sound two times to indicate

2-12

that the transmitter has been programmed.

Any additional transmitters can also be programmed at this time.

Repeat steps 1 through 3 for an additional transmitter.

To exit the programming mode:

1. After all of your transmitters are programmed, remove the key from

the ignition switch.

The horn will sound three times to indicate that the system has exited

the programming mode.

2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly operates by

operating each transmitter.

n Deleting old transmitter codes

The control unit of the keyless entry system has four memory loca-

tions to store transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate with up

to four transmitters. When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter’s

code remains in the memory. For security reasons, lost transmitter

codes should be deleted from the memory.

To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into

the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four

times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If

you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and

the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter

codes in the system’s memory.

NOTE

Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system

within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If

someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while you

are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their trans-

mitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them

unauthorized access to your vehicle.
