Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Principles of Operation (How Does It Work?)

All doors can be locked at once by turning the door key lock switch to the locked position. An individual door can be unlocked by moving the door key lock switch to the unlocked position and turning it again within five seconds; all the doors (including the liftgate) will unlock.

The smart lock system is designed to keep the driver from locking his keys in the car. It will lock and then unlock all the doors if the Smart Entry Control(SEC)/timer module detects the following conditions:
^ The ignition key still in the ignition.
^ A front door is open.
^ A door lock switch has been pushed to the lock position.

The panic feature has a duration of 30 seconds from the last time the PANIC button is pressed. When locking the doors from the remote transmitter, the horn chirp/lamp flash feature can be disabled or enabled by holding the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for two seconds. The hazards will flash three times to confirm that the feature has be enabled or disabled.
