Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system. Remotes 1 and 2 (Identified on the back of each remote) are linked to the DPMS, keyless access control unit, the climate control settings, the custom memory settings (in the MID), and the illumination settings. Depending on which remote unlocks the vehicle, these settings are chosen.

Some functions of the security, keyless entry, and power door locks can be customized using the MID keyless memory setting. They include:

The remotes can be linked and unlinked to the keyless memory settings by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time for about 1 second. The LED on the remote blinks twice when linked, and once when unlinked.

The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote. When you press the LOCK button, all the doors lock (unless any one of the doors is not fully closed or the key is in the ignition switch.

When you press the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks, if keyless memory setting "WHENEVER UNLOCKING" is set to Driver's Door. The other doors unlock when you press the UNLOCK button a second time. All the doors unlock when you press the UNLOCK button the first time if keyless memory setting "WHENEVER UNLOCKING" is set to All Doors. The doors will not lock with the remote if a door is not fully closed, or if the remote's built-in key is in the ignition switch.

If the UNLOCK button is pressed, released, then pressed and held, the power windows and the moonroof begin to open. The windows and the moonroof stop if the button is released. The windows and moonroof cannot be closed with the remote. See POWER WINDOWS -- RL for more information and troubleshooting.

When the interior lights switch is in the "DOOR" position, the individual map lights will come on when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If a door is not opened, the lights will go off in about 30, 60, or 90 seconds (depending on the keyless memory setting "SECURITY RELOCK TIMER"), and the doors will relock. If the doors are locked with the remote within 30 seconds, the lights will go off immediately.
