Keyless Entry System: Operation
The transmitter has 3 buttons for operation: LOCK, UNLOCK and TRUNK release. The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver's door and light the illuminated entry system. On models with theft alarm system it will also activate theft security system. Pushing and releasing the button once will unlock the driver door. Pushing the button twice within 5 seconds will unlock all doors.
The LOCK button will lock all doors and activate theft security system (if equipped). When pressed, horn will sound a short chirp to signify that the signal was received and doors are locked. The TRUNK button will slightly open the trunk lid when pressed.
