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 body control module (BCM) |
When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal
to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function.
Unlock Driver's Door Only
Momentarily press the UNLOCK button in order to perform the following
functions:
| • | Unlock the driver door only. |
| • | Illuminate the interior lamps for approximately 20 seconds
or until the ignition is turned ON. |
| • | Flash the daytime running lamps, if selected ON in personalization. |
| • | Disarm the content theft deterrent (CTD) system, if equipped. |
| • | Chirp the horn, if selected ON in personalization. |
| • | Identify the driver to the radio. |
Unlock All Doors - Second Operation
Momentarily press the UNLOCK button a second time, within 5 seconds
of the first press, in order to perform the following functions:
| • | Unlock the remaining doors. |
| • | Illuminate the interior lamps for approximately 20 seconds
or until the ignition is turned ON. |
Lock All Doors
Press the LOCK button in order to perform the following functions:
| • | Immediately turn off the interior lamps. |
| • | Flash the daytime running lamps, if selected ON in personalization. |
| • | Chirp the horn, if selected ON in personalization. |
| • | Arm the content theft deterrent (CTD) system after all of the
doors are closed. |
Rear Compartment Lid Release
If the vehicle transaxle is in PARK or NEUTRAL and the ignition is in
the OFF position, a single press of the rear compartment release button will
open the rear compartment lid. The interior lamps will not illuminate.
Alarm
A single press of the panic button performs the following functions:
| • | Illuminates the interior lamps. |
| • | Flashes the daytime running lamps for 2 minutes or until
the following conditions occur: |
| - | The panic button is pressed again. |
| - | The ignition switch is turned to the RUN position with a valid
key. |
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 body control module (BCM) are synchronized
to the appropriate order. If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that
is not in the order that the BCM expects, the system will not function. This
occurs after 256 presses of any button on the transmitter when it is out
of range of the vehicle.
Automatic Synchronization
The keyless entry transmitters do not require a manual synchronization
procedure. If needed, the transmitters automatically resynchronize when any
button on the transmitter is pressed within range of the vehicle. The transmitter
will operate normally after the automatic synchronization.
