Keyless Entry Transmitter: Description and Operation

NOTE: The remote entry features will not function when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACC position.

- The remote keyless entry system includes a three-button (hand-held) keyless entry remote transmitter. Keyless entry remote transmitters are reprogrammable and all keyless entry remote transmitters for the vehicle must be set at the same time. When troubleshooting the vehicle, one keyless entry remote transmitter is essential to perform tests.
- The electronic door lock control processor erases all previous transmitters from memory when the transmitters are programmed or reprogrammed. The electronic door lock control processor can store up to four transmitters in memory.
- To unlock the driver's door, press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter (which is programmed into the electronic door lock control processor) once. This will also disarm the anti-theft system, if equipped.
- To unlock all doors and liftgate, press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter twice. The second press must be within five seconds of the first UNLOCK press.
- If more than five seconds have elapsed since the first press of the UNLOCK button, pressing the UNLOCK button again will only unlock the driver door.
- To turn on interior lamps and door lock cylinder illumination, press UNLOCK.
- To lock all doors, press LOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter once. This will also arm the anti-theft system, if equipped.
- To confirm that doors have locked, press LOCK button again within five seconds of the first press. This will sound the horn and lock all doors again.
- To activate the personal security alarm, press the PANIC button. The horn will sound and exterior lamps will flash for a maximum of three minutes.
- To deactivate the personal security alarm, press the PANIC button again or turn the ignition switch to RUN.
- The electronic door lock control processor supplies power to illuminate the door lock cylinder lamps and interior lamps for approximately 25 seconds after being activated either by pressing PANIC or UNLOCK on a programmed keyless entry remote transmitter or by pressing any button on the keyless entry keypad (if equipped).
- The generic electronic module (GEM) supplies power to the interior/courtesy lamps for approximately 45 minutes after being activated by an open door, sliding door or liftgate.
