Remote Keyless Entry - Description

The remote keyless entry system allows locking and unlocking of the
vehicle door(s) liftgate, panic alarm and arming or disarming of the
vehicle theft security system (if equipped), using the hand held radio
frequency (RF) transmitter. The receiver may receive signals from up to
four transmitters. Each transmitter has its own code, and the code is
programmed and stored into RKE module memory. If a transmitter is
replaced or additional transmitters are added, the codes for all units
have to be reprogrammed into the RKE module memory. If a receiver module
is replaced, the transmitter codes must be stored in the new receiver
memory (by performing the steps for programming transmitters). The RKE
module is capable of retaining all transmitter codes when power is
removed from the module.



Remote Keyless Entry - Operation

The transmitter has three buttons for operation: LOCK, UNLOCK and PANIC.




Pressing the UNLOCK button will unlock the driver's door, flash the park
lamps twice and enable illuminated entry. Pressing and releasing the
button once will unlock the drivers door. Pressing and releasing the
button two tomes within a five second interval will unlock all doors.




Pressing the LOCK button will cause the horn to sound a short chirp (if
enabled) and flash the park lamps to notify that the all door lock
signal was received and set. Illuminated entry is cancelled and the
interior lamps are faded to off.




Pressing the PANIC button will cause the panic alarm to sound for three
minutes, until the PANIC button is pressed a second time, or the vehicle
reaches a speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph). The receiver is capable of
retaining a Vehicle Access Code (VAC) even when power is removed. Each
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module must have at least one and no more
than four transmitter.



The instruction guide for programming the transmitter can be found in the Pit area.
