Keyless Entry Transmitter: Description and Operation

Remote Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Unlock
The remote control feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of ignition status, vehicle speed or transmission position. The remote control feature provides a two-step process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the first requests for unlocking the doors, the remote control feature requests the vehicle security module to unlock the driver door only. If another unlock request is received within three seconds of the first, the remote control feature will request that all doors be unlocked.

Remote Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Lock
The remote control feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed. On any press of the lock button with all doors closed, the remote control feature will request one flash of the parking lamps. If any door is ajar, no flash will occur, indicating it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. As soon as the last door is closed, one flash of the parking lamps occurs. If two presses of the lock button are received within two seconds, the horn will chirp once, the parking lamps will flash twice to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within three seconds of the first, the remote control feature will request the horn chirp twice without flashing the parking lamps to indicate it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. When the ignition is in the ON or START position, no parking lamp flashes or horn chirp confirmations will occur.

Panic Alarm
The panic alarm feature controls activation of the panic alarm providing audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the parking lamps and horn are flashed until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs synchronously. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on a remote transmitter whenever the key is OFF. At all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active PANIC alarm is accomplished by: a second press of the remote transmitter PANIC button, the ignition is switched out of the OFF or ACC position or a period of 2.75 minutes has elapsed since the initial activation.
