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 keyless receiver unit built into the power window master switch. The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote transmitter. When you press the LOCK button, all the doors lock (unless any one of the doors is not fully closed or the key is in the ignition switch). For Touring model, the remote transmitters 1 and 2 (Identified on the back of the remote) are linked to the DPMS, and the custom memory settings (in the MID). Depending on which remote transmitter unlocks the vehicle, these settings are chosen. The remote transmitter can also be unlinked to cancel this feature.

Some functions of the security, keyless entry and power door locks can be customized using the MID keyless memory setting (Touring model only). They include:

AUTO DOOR LOCK: Door locking can be turned off, or turned on when shifting from Park or at a speed above 10 mph.
AUTO DOOR UNLOCK: Door unlocking can be turned off, or turned on when shifting to Park or turning the ignition switch OFF.
ONE TOUCH UNLOCK (Touring model): Door unlocking can be set to unlock all doors or only the driver's door with one touch of the button.
KEYLESS DOOR LOCK ACKNOWLEDGMENT: The beep, the parking lights and taillights can be turned on or off when pressing the LOCK button a second time on the remote transmitter.
SECURITY RELOCK TIMER: Select the time (30,60, or 90 sec.) that the doors relock if you unlock the doors with the remote transmitter, but do not open any of them.
HEADLIGHT AUTO OFF TIMER: Select time (0, 15, 30, or 60 sec.) to turn the headlights off after removing the key from the ignition and closing the driver's door.
INTERIOR LIGHT DIMMING TIMER: Select the dimming time (15, 30, or 60 sec.) of the interior lights after closing the door with the key removed from the ignition.
FRONT WIPERS OPERATION: Select the windshield intermittent wiper dwell time control to manually adjustment type or automatic type link with the vehicle speed.
COMPASS CALIBRATION: Calibrate the compass area zone.
MEMORY SEAT LINK: The remote transmitters can recall the memorized driving position by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time for about 1 second.

When you press the UNLOCK button the first time, only the driver's door unlocks. The other doors unlock when you press the UNLOCK button a second time. All the doors unlock when you press the UNLOCK button first time if you press the LOCK button and the PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR button at same time for about 1 second, the LED in the remote transmitter will blink twice. To cancel this feature, press the LOCK button and the PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR button at the same time, the LED will blink once.

NOTE: The doors will not lock with the remote transmitter if a door is not fully closed, the key off timer is ON, or if the key is in the ignition switch.

For EX, EX-L, and Touring models:

If the UNLOCK button is pressed, released, then pressed and held, the windows begin to open. The windows stop if

the button is released. See POWER WINDOWS for more information and troubleshooting.

For Touring model:

When the interior lights switch is in the middle (door) position, the individual map lights will come on when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If a door is not opened, the lights will go off in about 15,30, or 60 seconds (depending on the keyless memory setting "INTERIOR LIGHT DIMMING TIMER"), and the doors will relock. If the doors are locked with the remote transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.

If the doors are unlocked using the remote transmitter, and no doors are open, the multiplex integrated control system will relock the doors in about 30 seconds.

For EX, EX-L, and Touring models, the security system will rearm itself.
