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 illuminated entry lamps |
| • | The panic alarm (instant alarm) |
The keyless entry system has the following main components:
| • | The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) |
The RCDLR communicates with the body control module (BCM) through the
keyless entry serial data circuit. When you press a button on a transmitter,
the transmitter sends a signal to the RCDLR. The RCDLR sends a request
to the BCM and the BCM performs the appropriate function.

or the park brake is set (manual transmission) and the ignition is in the
OFF position, pressing the rear release button two times within 5 seconds
will open the liftgate window.

| • | Pulses the horn for 30 seconds. |
| • | Flashes the exterior lamps for 30 seconds. |
Perform either of the following in order to turn off the panic alarm:
| • | Press the panic button on the transmitter. |

Keyless Entry Personalization
The driver seat position may be personalized for two separate drivers
as part of remote activation verification. 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 transmitter
is out of synchronization. This occurs after 256 presses
of any transmitter button when it is out of range of the vehicle.
