Keyless Entry System
The keyless entry system is integrated with the MICS The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) receives LOCK, UNLOCK and PANIC signals from the keyless receiver unit The remote transmitters 1 and 2 (Identified on the back of the remote) are linked to the DPMS, the climate control settings, the custom memory settings (in the MID), and the illumination settings Depending on which remote transmitter unlocks the vehicle, these settings are chosen

Some functions of the security, keyless entry and power door locks can be customized using the MID keyless memory setting They include
- AUTO DOOR LOCK Door locking can be turned off, or turned on when shirting from Park (A/T) or at a speed above 10 mph.
- AUTO DOOR UNLOCK Door unlocking can be turned off, or turned on when shifting to Park (A/T) or turning the ignition switch OFF
- WHENEVER UNLOCKING Door unlocking can be set to unlock all doors or only the driver's door
- KEYLESS DOOR LOCK ACKNOWLEDGMENT The beep 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

The remote transmitters can be linked and unlinked to the keyless memory settings by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time for about 1 second The LED on the remote transmitter blinks once when linked, and twice when unlinked

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) When you press the UNLOCK button first time, only the driver's door unlocks, if keyless memory setting "WHENEVER UNLOCKING" is set to Driver's Door 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 keyless memory setting "WHENEVER UNLOCKING" is set to All Doors

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