Remote Function Actuation System
Your vehicle has a Remote Function Actuation (RFA) system that allows you to lock and unlock your doors,
unlock your hatch/trunk lid, turn the panic alarm on and off and disarm or arm your theft-deterrent system.
When using one of the key fob transmitters supplied with your vehicle range distance is as much as 100 feet
(30 m) away.
Your RFA system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Rules
and with Industry Canada.

Operation
You can use the buttons on the transmitter to unlock your vehicle. Press UNLOCK once to unlock the driver’s
door, or UNLOCK again within 10 seconds to unlock both doors.
Pressing LOCK once will lock both doors and arm the theft-deterrent system.
Your memory settings will also be recalled when you press the UNLOCK button on the key fob transmitter. See
“Memory” in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual Index for more information.
The hatch/trunk lid will unlock when the button with the trunk symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is
turned to OFF.
The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and attempt to lock the doors, the vehicle will not lock and a chime will sound reminding you that
the keys are in the ignition. If the door lock is pressed again, within five seconds, the doors will lock and the
keys can be locked in the vehicle
The system will allow you to lock your keys in the vehicle if you didn’t leave them in the ignition (for example,
you leave the keys on the seat). Always remember to take your keys with you.
Panic Alarm Button
When you press the special horn button on the key fob transmitter, the horn will sound. This panic alarm button
will allow you to attract attention, if needed.
If the horn alarm sounds, there are three ways to turn it off:
• Push the panic alarm button again on the key fob transmitter.
• Wait 90 seconds, and the horn will turn off by itself.
• Turn the key to any position in the ignition, except OFF.
RFA Settings
You can adjust the settings on the system through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Driver Information
Center Controls and Displays” in the Index of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for more information.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key fob transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to
your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only three transmitters
matched to it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON.
2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times until the blank page is displayed, the press and
hold the RESET button for two seonds.
4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed, push the RESET button once. The message HOLD
LK+UNLK 1ST FOB in DIC will be displayed.
5. Press and holf the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously for 15 seconds.
6. When the transmitter is learned (matched), the DIC will display FOB LEARNED and then prompt you to
learn the next transmitter.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each additional transmitter.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.
The programming mode will shut off if:
• You don’t program any transmitter for two minutes.
• You take the key out of the ignition.
• You have programmed three transmitters.
