General Description
The 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 or low transmitter battery power level. It is therefore necessary to always maintain access to a door lock key.The Keyless Entry system is a feature which allows for operation of the door locks, rear compartment entry, illuminated entry lights (if equipped) and panic button.
The two main system components are the transmitters and the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module. The transmitter unit sends a digitally encoded radio signal to the RFA module in response to a button on the transmitter being pressed by the vehicle operator. The RFA module interprets the signal and activates the required circuitry to provide the requested function.
