General Description

Important
^ The Remote 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 interference or low transmitter battery power level. It is therefore necessary to always maintain access to a door lock key.

The remote keyless entry system (remote control door lock system) is used to lock and unlock front side doors and release the rear compartment lift window panel assembly of the vehicle. The system will also turn on the interior lights for about 40 seconds, or until the ignition switch assembly is turned to "RUN," when the doors are unlocked and for about two seconds when the doors are locked. A small receiver assembly is installed in a pocket on the right-band hinge pillar. The receiver assembly operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency at a low energy level and complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The transmitter assembly is a hand-held item that is attached to a key ring. It has three buttons that control the functions of the system. If the remote lock control feature fails to operate from a normal distance, check for two conditions: weak batteries in remote lock control transmitter assembly (expected battery life is two years); or close proximity to a radio transmitter, such as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radios.
