Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.
To replace the battery:
1. Separate the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the notch, located above the metal base.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation (Keyless Access)
The Keyless Access System transmitter will work up to 60 m (195 feet) away.
The Keyless Access System locks and unlocks the doors and trunk without pressing the buttons on the keyless access transmitter. The keyless access transmitter must be within 1 m (3 feet) of the door or trunk being opened.
Keyless Unlocking
With the keyless access transmitter within 1 m (3 feet), approach the front door and pull the handle to unlock and open the door. On some models there is a touch sensor on the door handle. If the transmitter is recognized, the door will unlock and open.
To access the rear doors first, pull the rear door handle once to unlock all doors and a second time to open the door.
Entering any door other than the driver door will cause all of the doors to unlock. This is not customizable.
To customize which doors unlock when the driver door is opened, see
“Keyless Unlock” under Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑46.
Keyless Locking
The doors lock after several seconds if all doors are closed and at least one keyless access transmitter has been removed from the interior of the vehicle. To customize if the doors automatically lock upon exiting the vehicle, see
“Keyless Locking” under Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑46.
Keyless Trunk Opening Press the trunk release button located on the trunk above the license plate to open the trunk if the keyless access transmitter is within range. See Trunk (Sedan, Coupe) on page 2‑19 for additional information.
There are other conditions that affect the performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 2‑4.

Only keyless access transmitters programmed to the vehicle will work.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer.
The vehicle can be reprogrammed so that lost or stolen transmitters no longer work. Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters matched to it.
Programming with a Recognized Transmitter
A new transmitter can be programmed to the vehicle when there is one recognized transmitter.
For vehicles sold in Canada, two recognized transmitters are required to program a new transmitter.
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Place the recognized
transmitter(s) in the cupholder.
Have the new transmitter available with you.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver door.
4. Turn the key to the unlock position five times within five seconds.
5. The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays Ready To Learn Electronic Key #2, 3 or 4.

K
on the keyless access transmitter two times.10. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 6 through 9.
Programming without a Recognized Transmitter
United States owners are permitted to program a new transmitter to their vehicle when a recognized transmitter is not available. The Canadian immobilizer standard requires that Canadian owners see their dealer for programming new transmitters when two recognized transmitters are not available.
The procedure requires three, ten minute cycles to complete the matching process.
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Place the new transmitter into the transmitter pocket with the buttons facing the front of the vehicle. The transmitter pocket is inside the center console storage area located between the driver and front passenger seats.

9. Press the ignition switch in again.
10. Repeat Steps 7, 8 and 9.
11. The DIC reads Learn Delay Active Wait XX Min and counts down to zero.
12. A beep sounds and the DIC reads Ready To Learn Electronic Key # X. All previously known transmitter programming has been erased.
13. A beep sounds once
programming is complete. The DIC displays Ready To Learn Electronic Key # 2.
To program additional transmitters, insert each transmitter in the pocket until a beep is heard and the DIC advances to the next electronic key number. Up to four transmitters can be programmed. The DIC displays Maximum # Electronic Keys Learned and exits the programming mode.
Press the ignition control knob to complete the process.
14. Press the ignition control knob if programming is complete.
