If your Remote Lock Control fails to operate from a
normal distance, check for these two conditions:
1. Weak batteries in transmitter. The expected life of
batteries is from one to two years

2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radios.

Transmitter Battery Service

The recommended replacement batteries are CR2016.

1. Pry the transmitter halves apart with a dime or similar
object. Make sure not to damage the rubber gasket
material during removal.

2. Remove and replace the batteries. Avoid touching the
new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause
battery deterioration. If you touch the battery, clean it
with rubbing alcohol.

3. Reassemble the transmitter case. Snap the halves
together and test transmitter operation.

VEHICLE THEFT ALARM

The system monitors the doors, trunk, and ignition for
unauthorized operation.

If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for
up to 18 minutes. For the first three minutes the horn will
sound and the headlights and interior lights will flash.
Then the horn will stop and if the source of the trigger is
still present, the lights will continue to flash for another
15 minutes.

NOTE:

The engine will not start until you disarm the

system.

To set the alarm:

1. Remove the keys from the ignition switch and get out
of the vehicle.
