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 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 system has an automatic locking feature. If the doors
are unlocked with the remote transmitter while the remote control door lock receiver
(RCDLR) is armed, the doors are automatically relocked after 30 seconds unless
any of the following events occurs:
• | The ignition switch is turned ON. |
• | The rear deck lid is opened. |
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 255 presses
of any transmitter button when it is out of range of the vehicle.
