Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control - Lock
The RKE feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed. On any press of the lock button with all doors closed, the RKE feature requests one flash of the turn signals. If any door is ajar, no flash occurs, indicating it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. As soon as the last door is closed, one flash of the turn signals occurs. If 2 presses of the LOCK button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once, and the turn signals flash twice to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE feature requests the horn chirp twice without flashing the turn signals to indicate it locked all the doors, but one or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the RUN or START position, no turn signals flashes or horn chirp confirmations occur.
