Keyless Entry: Description and Operation
Keyless Entry SystemThe security alarm system is integrated with the keyless entry system. The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote transmitter. When you push the LOCK button, all doors lock. When you push the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks. The remaining doors unlock when you push the button a second time.
The ceiling lights, if its switch is in the center position, will come on when you press the UNLOCK button. If you do not open a door, the light will go off in about 30 seconds, the doors will automatically relock, and the security system will rearm. If you relock the doors with the remote transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.
You cannot lock or unlock the doors with the remote transmitter if a door or the trunk or hood is not fully closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch. If a door or the trunk or hood is not closed, the alarm chirps three times to alert you.
To open the trunk, push the Trunk Release button and hold it for about two seconds. The trunk will not open if the key is in the ignition switch.
The system will signal you when the doors lock and unlock by flashing the parking lights, side marker lights, and taillights: once when they lock, and twice when they unlock.
If a third keyless/security remote has been added, the trunk release button on that remote must be pushed twice.
