Description






DESCRIPTION





Power Locks are standard equipment. Two ignition keys with integral Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters are supplied with the vehicle. They operate the ignition and the locks in the driver's door and glove box. The driver's door lock cylinder is the only external key cylinder on the vehicle. The power lock system enables the doors, liftgate and fuel door to be locked and unlocked in the following ways:

- With the driver's door lock cylinder.
- With the RKE transmitter.
- With the power lock switch located on the center console (except fuel door).

Each door can be locked or unlocked mechanically and independently with either its inside lock knob, inside remote release handle, or the outside key cylinder lock (driver door only). All power locks, including the rear liftgate and fuel door, can be remotely locked or unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.

Central Locking

Central Locking is a part of the power locking system and the Vehicle Theft Security System. Central Locking operates both door locks, rear liftgate lock, and the fuel door lock from a single point depending on the Customer Preferences setting. It uses the Body Control Module (BCM), Central Locking Pump/Security System Module and SKREEM Module for collective logic.

Door Lock Inhibit

The Door Lock Inhibit feature is part of Central Locking and prevents locking with a door lock button or the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. It also prevents locking if either door is not closed.

Sentry Key Remote Entry





The Sentry Key Remote Entry system allows unlocking (1) and locking (2) of the vehicle doors, the rear liftgate, and the fuel door by remote control using a hand held radio frequency keyless entry transmitter. It also has a red panic button (6), and incorporates a flip out (3) ignition key (4) with an LED (5) battery check indicator lamp.
