Description & Operation

Vehicles offer an optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. Use of a 3-button, portable remote control operates door locks within a range of 13 ft. (4 m). Dome light flashes twice once doors are locked and illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If after 30 seconds, door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry system, doors will relock.

Panic button on remote control will activate vehicle alarm system for approximately 3 minutes when pressed. Alarm can be terminated if any button on remote control is pressed.

Power door locks are controlled by the Electronic Timer Alarm Control System (ETACS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that acquires a signal from RKE receiver. The ETACS ECU sends appropriate signals to individual door lock actuators through individual relays.
