Locating the Keyless Entry Keypad
The keypad is near the driver window and
illuminates when you touch it.

You can use the keypad to:
- Lock or unlock the doors and liftgate.
- Program and erase user codes.
- Arm and disarm the anti-theft alarm.
Keyless Entry Limitations
Make sure your remote control is within 3 ft
(1 m) from the front door handles and the
tailgate.
The system could not function if:
- The remote control remains stationary
for about a minute.
- The vehicle battery has no charge.
- The remote control battery has no
charge.
- There is interference causing issues
with the remote control frequencies.
- The remote control is too close to
metal objects or electronic devices, for
example keys or a cell phone.
What Is the Master Access Code
The master access code is a factory-set
five-digit entry code. You can operate the
keypad with the master access code at
any time...
Other information:
WARNING: Do not adjust the spring
bars so that your vehicle's rear bumper
is higher than before attaching the trailer.
Doing so will defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which may
cause unpredictable handling, and could
result in serious personal injury...
