Subject:
RS3000 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE PROGRAMMING

As a convenience feature, the RS3000 TVIP system is programmed to automatically lock all of the vehicle's doors (for vehicles equipped with power door locks) when the ignition key is turned to "ON" or "START", and unlock them when the key is turned back to "ACC" or "LOCK". The initial factory setting of this programmable feature is "ON". For some customers however, this feature is not desirable due to instances of passenger lockout when the driver enters the vehicle first and starts the ignition.

For vehicles equipped with RS3000 TVIP, this bulletin advises the dealers to communicate the following information to the customers at vehicle delivery:

1. Inform the customers of the RS3000 system's automatic (ignition controlled) door lock/unlock feature.
2. Inquire about the customers' preference for it to be set "ON" or "OFF".
3. Reprogram the feature's setting according to the customer's preference. To change the feature's operation mode, follow the programming procedures.





Verification of the Dealer-Installed Option (DIO) or Port-Installed Option (PIO) RS3000 TVIP System can easily be performed by identifying the status monitor and remote transmitter.

APPLICABLE VEHICLES:
All models equipped with DIO or PIO RS3000 TVIP.

PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE:

Automatic (Ignition-Controlled) Door Locking/Unlocking Function
The factory setting for the AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING FUNCTION is "ON".

To change this feature's operation, follow the steps below:
1. Sit in the driver's seat with driver's door open.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn it to "ON" position (not "ACC") 5 times (ON > LOCK > ON > LOCK > ON > LOCK > ON > LOCK > ON) within a 10 second period.

System Response:
The STATUS MONITOR's LED turns on, and the PIEZO BUZZER sounds once.

NOTE:
You must perform the next steps within 30 seconds.





3. Select the customer's preferred operating mode.

NOTE:
Issue of this Technical Service Bulletin is to ensure that proper repair information is available. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR. Normal provisions of the formal warranty policy, as applicable, will apply.
