Normal System Operation

The keyless entry system will operate with the doors open or closed, but will not operate when the ignition key is in the ignition switch lock cylinder. Pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote transmitter once unlocks the driver's door. Pressing the UNLOCK button twice unlocks all doors (and liftgate). When any or all of the doors (and lingate) are unlocked, and the dome light switch is in the DOOR position, the dome light will illuminate for 15 seconds. The turns signal/hazard lights will flash once.

Pressing the LOCK button on the remote transmitter locks all doors and the liftgate or trunk. When the any or all of the doors (and liftgate) are unlocked, and the dome light switch is in the DOOR position, the dome light as well as the turn signal/hazard lights will flash twice. With the answerback feature in the default mode, the horn will also sound once.
The answerback features can be customized. Refer to the Answerback Operation and Modification section of this bulletin or Group 42 in the service manual for more information about the RKE answerback features.

Pressing the TRUNK button on the remote transmitter (if equipped) twice within five seconds will unlock the trunk lid. The trunk lid must be closed manually after it has been unlocked.

If the UNLOCK button is pressed while all doors (and liftgate) are closed and no door is opened within 30 seconds, all doors (and liftgate) will automatically re-lock.

On vehicles with factory-installed security alarm systems, the remote transmitter will have a PANIC button. Locking/unlocking the doors will arm/disarm the alarm system. Pressing the PANIC button will activate the alarm system, flashing the headlights and intermittently sounding the horn for about 3 minutes. Pressing any button on the remote transmitter will deactivate and silence the PANIC alarm.
