Power Lock/Unlock

The power lock/unlock feature requests all of the vehicle doors locked or unlocked upon a customer request from either door lock control switch in the vehicle. The power door locking system functions independently of ignition status or vehicle speed.

Autolock

The autolock feature locks all the doors when all the doors (including the luggage compartment lid) are closed, the key is in the RUN position, the transaxle is shifted into any gear, and the vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).

The autolock feature repeats when any door is opened then closed while the ignition is still in the RUN position, the vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 mph) or slower, and the vehicle then attains a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).

Refer to Autolock and Auto-Unlock Programming in this section for programming information.

Auto-Unlock

NOTE:

The doors will not auto-unlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked before the driver door is opened.

The auto-unlock feature unlocks all the doors when the ignition is in the RUN position, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph), the vehicle then comes to a stop and the ignition is turned to LOCK or ACC, and the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being turned to LOCK or ACC.

Refer to Autolock and Auto-Unlock Programming in this section for programming information.

Smart Unlock

The smart unlock feature prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the SJB receives a lock command from a door lock control switch only, and the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with one of the front doors open, the SJB commands the doors to unlock.

The vehicle can still be locked with the ignition key in the ignition lock cylinder by locking the doors with the push button rods, the door lock cylinder or the lock command from a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

The SJB accepts programming of up to 4 RKE transmitters. The RKE transmitters can be programmed using a scan tool or by using the RKE transmitter programming procedure. Refer to Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming in this section for programming information.

The RKE transmitter carries out the following functions:

• Unlocks the driver door
• Unlocks all doors
• Locks all doors
• Releases the luggage compartment lid latch
• Arms/disarms the perimeter alarm (if equipped)
• Activates/deactivates the panic alarm
• Commands the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
• Provides a long flash of the turn signals when UNLOCK is pressed
• Sounds the horn once and flashes the turn signals when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and the doors are closed
• Sounds the horn twice when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and any door is ajar

The RKE transmitter has a normal operating range of 10 m (33 ft).

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control — Unlock

The RKE feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of key position, vehicle speed, or transaxle position. The RKE feature provides a stepped (if enabled) process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the first request for unlocking the doors, the RKE control feature requests the SJB to unlock the driver door only and provides a long flash of the turn signals. If another unlock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE feature requests the SJB to unlock all the doors. This feature can be disabled, so that all the doors unlock on the first press of the UNLOCK button. Refer to Stepped Unlock Programming in this section.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control — Lock

The RKE feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed. On any press of the LOCK button with all doors closed, the SJB flashes the turn signals once. If any door is ajar, no flash occurs. As soon as the last door is closed, the SJB provides the flash of the turn signals. If 2 presses of the LOCK button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once and the turn signals flash twice (once each button press) to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature requests the SJB chirp the horn twice without flashing the turn signals to indicate it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the RUN or START position, the turn signal flashes and horn chirp confirmations do not occur.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Luggage Compartment Lid Release

The RKE feature provides luggage compartment lid release function independently of key position. The luggage compartment lid release system is inhibited when the vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).

Panic Alarm

The panic alarm feature provides audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the turn signals are flashed and the horn sounds until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs simultaneously. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on a RKE transmitter whenever the key is in the OFF position. At all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active panic alarm is accomplished by any of the following actions:

• A second press of the RKE transmitter PANIC button
• The key is switched out of the OFF position
• A period of 2 minutes and 45 seconds has elapsed since the initial activation
