Remote Keyless Entry

Use the keyless entry system as a supplementary vehicle entry device. Use the keyless entry system in conjunction with a door lock key. Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system. Therefore, always carry a door lock key. Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:

  1. The door locks.
  2. The luggage compartment lock.
  3. The illuminated entry lamps (if equipped).
  4. The panic mode.

The keyless entry system has the following main components:

  1. The transmitters.
  2. The Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module.

When you press a button on the transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal to the RFA module. The RFA module interprets the signal and activates the requested function via a class 2 bus. The following functions are available to the keyless entry system:

  1. Press the UNLOCK button once in order to perform the following actions:
    • Unlock the driver's door.
    • Turn on the interior lamps if the ignition is OFF.
  2. Press the UNLOCK button again within 5 seconds in order to unlock all the doors.
  3. Press the LOCK button in order to lock all of the doors.
  4. Press the TRUNK button in order to open the luggage compartment.
  5. Press the PANIC button in order to perform the following actions:
    • Sound the horn.
    • Flash the park lamps for up to 1 minute.
  6. Use one of the following procedures in order to deactivate the panic mode:
    • Press the transmitter button.
    • Use the key in order to unlock the vehicle (for vehicles equipped with Content Theft Deterrent (CTD).
    • Turn the ignition ON.
