RF (Radio Frequency) Units 

The RF unit 1 is located on the center console. The RF unit 2 is located on the seat right side bolster. The RF units identifies the remote's code.

LF (Low Frequency) Antennas 

The front interior, middle interior, and rear interior LF antennas send the signals to the remote placed in the interior. The driver's door outer handle, front passenger's door outer handle, and rear bumper LF antennas send the signals to the remote outside of the vehicle.

Remote 

The remote is equipped with a keyless transmitter, so both doors can be locked and unlocked by a lock/unlock button operation, even from a remote distance from the vehicle. When the remote lock button or remote unlock button is pressed, the keyless transmitter sends the applicable switch signal to the RF unit. After receiving the authentication at between RF unit and keyless access control unit, the door lock/unlock signals are sent to MICU through B-CAN communication.
