Keyless Entry
The keyless entry system consists of the following components:

- central security module
- keyless entry keypad

The keyless entry remote transmitter initiates the following electronic door lock system functions:
- unlocks the driver door
- unlocks all doors
- locks all doors
- enables the panic alarm
- issues the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
- sounds the horn once when LOCK on keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed twice, and doors are closed
- sounds the horn twice when LOCK on the keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed twice, and any door or the liftgate window is ajar
- allows up to four keyless entry remote transmitters to be programmed

NOTE: The remote entry features will not function when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACC position.

The keyless entry remote transmitters are reprogrammable and must be set at the same time.

To confirm that the doors have been locked and that the anti-theft system has been armed, press the LOCK button again, within five seconds of the first press. The horn will sound once if the doors have locked and all doors are closed.

To activate the panic alarm:
- Press the red PANIC button on the keyless entry remote transmitter. The horn will sound and the parking lamps will flash for a maximum of 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

To deactivate the panic alarm:
- Press the red PANIC button again on the keyless entry remote transmitter.
- Turn the ignition switch to RUN/ACC.

The keyless entry keypad can be used to unlock the driver door or lock and unlock all the doors and, if equipped, the liftgate. It also lights the keypad lamp, allows one user code to be programmed and issues illuminated entry on/off requests to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) when locking and unlocking.

The system (permanent) entry code is located on the owner's wallet card in the glove compartment; it is also electronically accessible by reading the KEYCODE PID using a diagnostic tool, and on the module housing.

The module is programmed at the factory with a five-digit entry code. A new module includes a new owner's code card.

To turn on the interior lamps and light all illuminated components, press any button on the keyless entry keypad.

To unlock the driver door, enter the permanent factory code or enter the owner's alternate code. To unlock the passenger door(s) and liftgate, press the 3/4 button within five seconds of unlocking the driver door.

To lock all doors, press the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time. (It is not necessary to enter the key code first.) This will also turn off the courtesy lamps.

NOTE: The doors will not lock if the vehicle is started in NEUTRAL and passed into any forward gear.

If the autolock feature is enabled all doors, liftgate and liftgate window must be closed for autolock to activate. The autolock feature will activate when the ignition switch is in the RUN/ACC position, the shift control selector transitions into and out of the reverse (R) position and then the driver releases the brake pedal.

After the initial lock, all doors will automatically relock when any door is opened and then closed followed by the release of the brake pedal. However, the doors will not relock if the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

NOTE: The door ajar state will be monitored continuously for 500 milliseconds (ms) after locking has occurred. If a door is opened again within 500 ms, the driver door will unlock.

The door may not automatically lock if the vehicle is shifted quickly into gear after starting the engine.
