yellowblue Operation The driver's door will unlock automatically when UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again within five seconds, the passenger's door will also unlock. All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed. The hatch will unlock when the REAR 2X button is pressed twice within five seconds, as long as the ignition is turned to OFF. If the ignition is on, the REAR 2X button will only work if the transmission is in PARK (P) for an automatic transmission, or if the parking brake is set on a manual transmission. The system will turn on the interior lamps for about 40 seconds (or until the ignition is turned to RUN), when you unlock the doors or hatch. The interior lamps will go off when you lock the doors. Operating the remote keyless entry transmitter may interact with the Content Theft-Deterrent System (if you have this option). See "Content Theft-Deterrent System" in the Index. Alarm/Panic Mode If you are involved in a panic situation, press the horn symbol button on your remote keyless entry transmitter and your vehicle's horn will sound and the parking lamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either push the horn symbol button again or turn the ignition to ON. This feature will not work if your ignition is on or if the transmitter is 30 feet (9 m) or more away from your vehicle. Transmitter Verification (If Equipped) This feature provides feedback to the holder of the remote keyless entry transmitter that a command has been received by the keyless entry receiver. The parking lamps will flash on every lock and unlock command and the horn will sound only if the LOCK button is pressed twice within five seconds. This allows for silent operation of locking and unlocking unless a confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be selected for this feature (see "Feature Customization" in the Index). 2-8
