Transmitter Test: Notes
NOTE:
- If the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.

- If the UNLOCK button is pressed on the transmitter and a door is not opened within 30 seconds, the doors relock automatically.
- The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter if the key is in the ignition switch.
- Panic function will not operate if the ignition switch is ON (II).
- If the lock and unlock function works normally, but the driving position memory system (DPMS) is not linked, confirm the link is turned ON (press lock and unlock at the same time), then check for problems in the DPMS (see
