Keyless/Power Door Locks/Security System Description - Overview (2014 - 2015)
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 TRUNK signals from the immobilizer-keyless control unit*1 or the keyless access control unit*2 .
The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 . When you press the LOCK/UNLOCK button, all doors lock or unlock. The doors will not lock with the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 if a door is not fully closed, or if the vehicle is in the ON mode.
When the switch for the interior 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 will relock in about 30 seconds. If the doors are locked with the transmitter within 30 seconds, the light goes off immediately.
NOTE: The keyless entry system can be customized in the multi-information display (MID) to suit the customer's needs. For more information about keyless/security system options, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Door Lock System
The system has three circuits between door lock actuators and the MICU to improve safety of the system. One is for the driver's side door lock actuator, and others are for the left rear door lock actuator and passenger's side door lock actuators.Door lock actuator circuit has two fuses. When one fuse is blown, another fuse in the same circuit must be checked.
Security Alarm System
The security alarm system automatically arms after the doors, the hood, and the trunk are closed and locked. For the system to arm, the vehicle mode must be OFF (LOCK) mode and the MICU must receive inputs that the doors, the hood, and the trunk are closed and locked. The alarm can be disarmed at any time by unlocking the driver's door with the mechanical key or pressing the UNLOCK button on the keyless transmitter*1 , the remote*2 , or smart function*2 .
The security indicator in the gauge control module (speedo) begins to flash immediately after the vehicle is completely closed and locked, and 15 seconds later, the security system arms. Once armed, the security indicator flashes more slowly. If the security indicator does not flash after the doors are locked, the system is not arming.
Once the system is armed, it will sound an alarm when any of these occur:
- A door or the trunk is forced open.
- A door is unlocked without using the mechanical key, the keyless transmitter*1 , or the remote*2 .
- The hood is opened.
- The audio unit*3 or audio-navigation unit*4 (if equipped) is disconnected.
- The keyless transmitter PANIC button is pressed.
- When the shift position/mode is moved to other than P position/mode*5 .
When the system sounds the alarm, the alarm can be stopped at any time by unlocking the driver's door by pressing the UNLOCK button on the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 .

Panic Mode
The panic mode sounds the alarm in order to attract attention. When the PANIC button on the keyless transmitter is pressed and held for 2 seconds, the horns sound and the exterior lights flash for about 30 seconds. The panic mode can be canceled at anytime by pressing any button on the keyless transmitter or by turning the vehicle to the ON mode. The panic mode will not function if the vehicle is in the ON mode.
