The keyless entry system is a supplementary vehicle entry
device. 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 panic alarm (instant alarm) |
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 remote control door lock receiver. The RCDLR interprets the signal
and activates the requested function via a class 2 message over
the serial data line.

Keyless Entry Personalization
The exterior lamps and the horn chirp may be personalized as part of
the remote activation verification feature. The headlamps may be personalized
as part of the keyless entry alarm feature. For mode descriptions and programming
instructions, refer to
Driver Personalization
in Personalization.
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 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 keyless entry system will not function.
