General Description
Important^ The Remote Keyless Entry System is intended to be used as a supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with a door lock key. The system could be disabled due to radio frequency interference or low transmitter battery power level. It is therefore necessary to always maintain access to a door lock key.
The remote keyless entry system (remote control door lock system) is used to lock and unlock front and rear side doors, turn on interior lamps, and release the rear compartment lid assembly or end gate window assembly of the vehicle. A small receiver is installed on the rear window panel sheet metal of the sedan, and on top of the left rear wheelhouse for the wagon. This remote lock control feature operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency at a low energy level. If the remote lock control feature fails to operate from a normal distance, check for two conditions:
weak batteries in remote lock control transmitter (expected battery life is two years): or close proximity to a radio transmitter, such as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radios.
The transmitter assembly is a hand-held item that is attached to a key ring. It has three buttons that control the functions of the system. The transmitter complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: this device may not cause harmful interference and it must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
