The keyless entry system is a supplementary vehicle entry device. Use the keyless
entry system in conjection 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 remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) |
When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal to
the RCDLR. The RCDLR performs the appropriate function.
Unlock All Doors Operation
If the doors are locked, momentarily press the UNLOCK button in order to perform
the following functions:
• | Flash the turn signal lamps twice. |
• | Disarm the theft deterrent system. |
Lock All Doors
If the doors are unlocked, press the LOCK button in order to perform the following
functions:
• | Flash the turn signal lamps once. |
• | Arm the theft deterrent system. |
Auto-Locking (Safety Lock)
The remote keyless entry (RKE) 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 re-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 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 255 presses of any transmitter button when it is out of range
of the vehicle.
