REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The system allows locking and unlocking of vehicle
door(s), deck lid release, and panic by remote control
using a hand held radio frequency transmitter. The
vehicle speed must be less than 8 kmh (5 mph) before
the trunk lid can be unlatched with the 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 receiver
memory. If a transmitter is replaced or additional
transmitters are added, the codes for all units have
to be reprogrammed into the receiver memory. If a
receiver module is replaced, the transmitter codes
must be stored in the new receiver memory.
ROLLING DOOR LOCKS
The system includes the rolling door locking fea-
ture. The vehicle is shipped with the system enabled.
When the system is disabled the door locks will work
by use of the door lock switches and the Remote Key-
less Entry system only. When the rolling door lock
system is enabled, the RKE module will automati-
cally lock all the vehicle doors when all of the follow-
ing conditions are met:
• All doors are closed
• The vehicle speed exceeds 15 ± 1 mph.
• The throttle position sensor tip-in is greater
than 10 ± 2 degrees.
The RKE module will automatically re-lock all
doors if the above conditions are met and if any of
the doors become ajar and then closed again.
The enabling/disabling of the rolling door lock fea-
ture is customer programmable, as well as program-
mable with the DRB III
t scan tool.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
With the key in the ignition switch and the driver
door open, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Module
will ignore the command to lock the power door locks
via the interior driver door lock switch. Once the key
is removed, or the driver door is closed, the RKE
module will allow the power door locks to lock via the
interior door lock switches.
CENTRAL LOCKING/UNLOCKING
The door locks can be locked or unlocked electri-
cally via the exterior door key cylinders to provide
the central locking/unlocking feature. The central
locking/unlocking feature incorporates a customer
programmable
9Double activation unlock9 feature
which operates in the following manner: When
enabled, the first turn of the key cylinder to the
UNLOCK position (toward the front of the vehicle)
will mechanically unlock the door whose key cylinder
is being turned. A second turn of the key cylinder to
the UNLOCK position (within five seconds of the
first turn) will cause all vehicle doors to unlock elec-
trically. When this feature is disabled, all vehicle
doors will be unlocked electrically upon the first turn
of a key cylinder to the UNLOCK position. The vehi-
cle is locked electrically by turning the key cylinder
to the LOCK position once, regardless of the state of
the double activation unlock feature.
CHILD PROTECTION LOCKS
To provide a safer environment for children riding
in the rear seat, the rear doors have the “child-pro-
tection” door lock system.
The child protection locks are on the rear doors
only. The lock, when engaged, will disable the inside
door handle from opening the door. The lock is part
of the latch/lock assembly. If there is a problem with
the child protection locks, the entire latch must be
replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/
LATCH - REMOVAL).
WARNING: TO AVOID TRAPPING ANYONE IN A
VEHICLE IN A COLLISION. REMEMBER THAT THE
REAR DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE
OUTSIDE WHEN THE CHILD PROTECTION LOCKS
ARE ENGAGED.
OPERATION
POWER DOOR LOCKS
All doors can be locked or unlocked mechanically
and independently with their respective locking
knobs. The front doors can also be unlocked by actu-
ation of the inside remote door handle.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The transmitter has four buttons for operation.
They are LOCK, UNLOCK, DECK LID RELEASE,
and PANIC.
• The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver’s
door, flash the park lamps twice and enable illumi-
nated entry. Pushing and releasing the button once
will unlock the driver’s door. Pushing and releasing
the button two times, within a five second interval,
will unlock all doors.
• Upon pressing the LOCK button, the horn will
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.
• Pushing
and
releasing
the
DECK
LID
RELEASE button two times within five seconds, will
slightly ajar the deck lid.
• Pushing 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 15 mph.
