The keyless entry system is a supplementary vehicle entry
device. Use the keyless entry system in conjunction with a door lock key.
Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system.
Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:
| • | The rear compartment lid release |
| • | The illuminated entry lamps |
The keyless entry system has the following main components:
| • | The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) |
When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal
to the RCDLR. The RCDLR interprets the signal and activates the requested
function via a class 2 message over the serial data line.
Unlock Driver Door Only
Momentarily press the UNLOCK button in order to perform the following
functions:
| • | Unlock the driver door only. |
| • | Illuminate the interior lamps for approximately 20 seconds
or until the ignition is turned ON. |

Rear Compartment Lid Release
If the vehicle transaxle is in PARK or NEUTRAL and the ignition is in
the OFF position, a single press of the rear compartment release button will
open the rear compartment lid. The interior lamps will not illuminate.
Fuel Door Release
If the vehicle transaxle is in PARK or NEUTRAL and the ignition is in
the OFF position, a single press of the fuel door release button will open
the fuel door.
Rolling Code
The keyless entry system uses rolling code technology. Rolling code
technology prevents anyone from recording the message sent from the transmitter
and using the message in order to gain entry to the vehicle. The term "rolling
code" refers to the way that the keyless entry system sends and receives
the signals. The transmitter sends the signal in a different order each
time. The transmitter and the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
are synchronized to the appropriate order. If a programmed transmitter sends
a signal that is not in the order that the RCDLR expects, then the transmitter
is out of synchronization. This occurs after 256 presses of any transmitter
button when it is out of range of the vehicle.
Automatic Synchronization
The keyless entry transmitters do not require a manual synchronization
procedure. If needed, the transmitters automatically resynchronize when any
button on the transmitter is pressed within range of the vehicle. The transmitter
will operate normally after the automatic synchronization.
