Description & Operation: Notes
Keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the doors with a remote transmitter. System is designed to operate when transmitter is held within 3 feet of the driver's door lock. The system will not operate if the key is in the ignition or if one or more of the doors is open. Also, after you unlock the doors with the transmitter, if you do not open a door within 30 seconds, the doors will automatically lock. When you press the transmitter button, if one or more of the doors is unlocked, all of the doors will lock.
