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 door locks, including the rear compartment |
• | The illuminated entry lamps |
The keyless entry system has the following main components:
• | The intelligent switching unit (ISU) |
When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal to
the ISU. The ISU performs the appropriate function.
Unlock All Doors Operation
If the doors are locked, momentarily press the LOCK/UNLOCK button in order to
perform the following functions:
• | Flash the turn signal lamps twice |
Lock All Doors
If the doors are unlocked, press the LOCK/UNLOCK button in order to perform
the following functions:
• | Flash the turn signal lamps once. |
Auto Locking - Safety Lock
The remote keyless entry system has an automatic locking feature. If the doors
are unlocked with the remote transmitter while the control module/receiver is armed,
the doors are automatically locked after 30 seconds unless any of the following
events occurs:
• | The ignition switch is turned ON. |
• | The rear deck lid is opened. |
Rear Compartment Lid Release
Press the TRUNK button for 1 second in order to unlock the rear compartment.
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 ISU are synchronized
to the appropriate order. If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that is not in
the order that the ISU expects, then the transmitter is out of synchronization. This
occurs after 255 presses of any transmitter button when it is out of range
of the vehicle.
Fault or Alarm Indication
When the UNLOCK button on the remote transmitter is pressed, the ISU will flash
the parking lights to indicate information about the remote keyless entry and theft
deterrent system. Normal Condition: If there has not been an intrusion and no fault
has been detected, the ISU will signal a normal condition when the UNLOCK button is
pressed. The parking lights will flash twice for 1 second with a 1 second pause
between flashes. Alarm Indication: If there has been an intrusion since the last time
the LOCK button was pressed, the ISU will signal that there has been an intrusion
when the UNLOCK button is pressed. The parking lights will flash twice for 0.5 second,
and there will be a 1.5 second pause between flashes.
Alarm and fault information in the ISU will be erased the next the ISU enters
the armed condition after receiving a LOCK message from the transmitter.
