This system has a range of about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle forthe transmitter to work, try this: Check to determine if battery replacement or resynchronization is necessary. See the instructions that follow. Check the distance. You may be too far from your vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy or snowy weather. Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again. If you're still having trouble, see your retailer or a qualified technician for service. The trunk will unlock when the trunk button is pressed and the ignition is off. The trunk button will also work when the ignition is on while in any gear. Instant Alarm When the button with the horn symbol on the remote lock control transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to one minute. This can be turned off by pressing the instant alarm button again, unlocking the vehicle with a key or by turning the ignition on. Resynchronization If only the instant alarm button works, the transmitter needs to beresynchronized to the receiver. Do this by pressing and holding both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for about eight seconds. You must be within range of the vehicle. Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The system should now operate properly. Operation The driver's door will unlock when UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again within five seconds, all doors will unlock. Pressing the UNLOCK button will also illuminate the interior lamps. See "Illuminated Entry" inthe Index. All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed. 2-10
