Using the Remote Keyless Entry

Lock (1)

All doors lock when you press the lock button. If all doors (and the trunk) are closed, the hazard lights flash once to indicate that all doors (and the trunk) are locked.

If you press the lock button for more than 4 seconds, the hazard lights will flash and the horn will sound once, confirming that the door is locked.

However, if a door is open, the hazard lights (and/or the horn) will not operate. If all doors are closed after you press the button, the hazard lights will flash once.

Press the unlock button once to unlock the driver's door. The hazard lights will flash twice (with the Smart Key, the horn also sounds), indicating that the driver's door is unlocked.

If you press the unlock button again within 4 seconds, all doors will unlock. The hazard lights will flash twice more (with the Smart Key, the horn also sounds), indicating that all doors are unlocked. After pressing the button, the doors will automatically relock if no door is opened within 30 seconds.

Trunk Release (3) (if equipped)

Press and hold this button for more than one second to open the trunk. Once the trunk is opened and closed again, it locks automatically.

Panic Alarm (4, if equipped)

The horn sounds and the hazard lights flash for approximately 30 seconds if you press this button for more than 0.5 seconds.

To turn off the horn and hazard lights, press any button on the transmitter.
