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. Therefore,
always carry a door lock key.
Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:
| • | The rear compartment lid release |
| • | The illuminated entry lamps |
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's door only. |
| • | Illuminate the interior lamps for approximately [40 seconds]
or until the ignition is turned ON (if the sun sensor senses sufficient darkness). |
| • | Disarm the content theft deterrent (CTD) system (if equipped). |
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 [40 seconds]
or until the ignition is turned ON]. |
| • | [Chirp the horn (if selected ON in personalization).] |
An additional press of the UNLOCK button will unlock the fuel door also.
Lock All Doors
Press the LOCK button in order to perform the following functions:
| • | Lock all of the doors, including the fuel door. |
| • | [Immediately turn off the interior lamps]. |
| • | [Chirp the horn (if selected ON in personalization).] |
| • | [Arm the content theft deterrent (CTD) system]. |
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.
Fuel Door Release
If the vehicle transaxle is in PARK or NEUTRAL and the ignition is in
the OFF position, a single press of the fuel door release button will open
the fuel door.
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 BCM are synchronized to the appropriate order.
If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that is not in the order that
the BCM expects, then only the [fuel door release] button will function.
