Vehicles are delivered programmed in Mode 1. To change the mode: 1. Follow the instructions for "Entering Programming Mode" listed previously. 2. Insert your second key fully into any door key cylinder and turn it to the unlock position. This step is necessary to prevent accidental programming of this feature to Mode 2. Do not program this feature to Mode 2 without first reading Mode 2 entirely. The door key cylinder must remain in the unlock position during Steps 2 through 4. 3. Press the horn symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter. 4. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in. You can change the mode by pressing the horn symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter again. 5. Repeat Step 3 until you hear the number of chimes that matches the mode you want. 6. Remove your key from the door key cylinder. The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions next in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle. Exiting Programming Mode To exit programming mode, just turn the key from ACCESSORY to OFF and put the BCM PRGRM fuse back into the instrument panel fuse block. After programming a feature, you can exit the programming mode at anytime. Also, if your vehicle is equipped with the content theft-deterrent system, remember to arm the system before exiting. Sliding Door To open the sliding door from outside the vehicle, pull the handle out and then pull the door toward the rear. If you slide the door all the way back, the door will rest in a detent position. The door must overcome this detent when closing. To move the door forward, you must first pull the door past the open detent position. If your vehicle has a sliding door on the driver's side, the door is designed to open only a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, don't try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver's side sliding door. Then when the fuel filler door is closed, the driver's side sliding door can be opened normally. 2-23
