NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT FROM JULY 31, 2000 (MDH 0731XX) TO AUGUST 8, 2000 (MDH 0808XX) EQUIPPED WITH REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (SALES CODE GXR) AND NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM (SALES CODE LSA).
DISCUSSION:
A programmable feature called the "Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Unlock Sequence" is available to customers which provides the opportunity to be able to program the power door lock unlocking sequence when the RKE transmitter unlock button is depressed. Normally, the Central Timer Module (CTM) is programmed to have the RKE system unlock only the driver side door when the RKE transmitter button is depressed the first time and all four doors when it is depressed a second time. Subject vehicles may have had their CTM programmed to have the RKE system unlock all four doors when the RKE transmitter's unlock button is first depressed.
Customers may indicate that they would prefer to have their RKE system unlock the driver side door when the RKE transmitter button is depressed the first time and all four doors when it is depressed a second time. The RKE Unlock Sequence can be easily changed by using one of the two following methods.
NOTE:
CUSTOMERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACTIVATE THE RKE UNLOCK SEQUENCE FEATURE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IDENTIFIED IN THEIR OWNER'S MANUAL, PAGE 16.
