If your vehicle is equipped with the AU0 option code, the
vehicle also has a factory installed remote function actuation (RFA) system.
The RFA system provides the following functions:
| • | Locks and unlocks the vehicle doors |
| • | Locks and unlocks the liftgate |
| • | Provides interior illumination following an unlock command |
| • | Opens and closes the power sliding door, if equipped with option
code E58 |
| • | Uses the alarm feature to sound the horn, illuminate interior
lamps and flash the park lamps |
The RFA system operates on a radio frequency that is subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines. Operation is subject to the following
2 conditions:
| • | The device may not cause harmful interference. |
| • | The device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation. |
Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter
The remote control door lock transmitter is a hand-held device that
is powered by a 3.0 Volt lithium battery. Data is transmitted on an
RF carrier frequency at 315 MHz. Up to 4 transmitter buttons control
the functions of the system:
| • | Power sliding door (lower right) |
| • | Alarm, if equipped with option code UA6 (lower left) |
The operating range of the transmitter is 1-9 meters (3-29
ft). At times, you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for any
remote control door lock system. If the transmitter does not operate correctly
or if you have to stand closer to the vehicle for the transmitter to operate,
perform the following steps:
| • | Inspect to determine if battery replacement is needed. |
| | You may be too far from the vehicle. In rainy or snowy weather, you
may need to stand closer to the vehicle. |
| | Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or the right or hold the transmitter higher. |
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR)
The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) is located beneath the
instrument panel upper trim. The battery provides all power for the RCDLR
through the instrument panel wiring harness. The RCDLR determines which
command is sent by the transmitter and then sends the appropriate signal
to the body control module (BCM) for the command to be carried out. The
power sliding door function is carried out directly by the RCDLR, independent
of the BCM.
