Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Keyless Entry System
The keyless entry system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system. The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) receives LOCK, UNLOCK, and PANIC signals from the immobilizer-keyless control unit (keyless receiver).
The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the transmitter. When you press the LOCK button, all doors lock. When you press the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks. The other doors will unlock when you press the button a second time. (Depending on the settings in the multi-information display, all the doors may unlock when you press the button the first time.) The doors will not lock with the transmitter if a door is not fully closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch.
When the switch for the ceiling light is in the middle (DOOR) position, it comes on when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If a door is not opened, the light goes off and the doors relock in about 30 seconds. If the doors are locked with the transmitter within 30 seconds, the light goes off immediately.
