Keyless Entry System: Operation
The keyless entry system enables vehicle to be locked and unlocked without use of a key. The system's operation is controlled by a 5-button keypad on driver's door and keyless entry module.
Pressing correct combination will unlock driver's door and turn on courtesy lights. Pressing additional buttons will open remaining doors, lock all doors or open trunk lid. The system automatically locks all doors when all doors are closed, ignition is on, driver's seat is occupied and vehicle is placed in gear.
