Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system feature allows customer to unlock driver door, unlock all doors, and lock all doors using a valid remote transmitter as long as the ignition switch is not in RUN or START position. Driver's door is unlocked whenever Generic Electronic Module (GEM) detects a valid remote transmitter unlock transmission. All doors are unlocked when GEM detects a second valid remote transmitter unlock transmission within three seconds of the first transmission. All doors are locked when GEM detects a valid remote transmitter lock transmission. If GEM detects a second valid remote transmitter lock transmission within three seconds of the first transmission, doors will lock again, the horn will sound for 20 milliseconds and the parking lamps will flash for 200 milliseconds to indicate doors are locked. If GEM detects driver or passenger door is ajar during the second lock transmission, doors are locked again and the horn is sounded twice. If GEM detects a valid remote transmitter lock transmission within three seconds of detecting a valid remote transmitter unlock transmission, GEM will lock all the doors. RKE system consists of power door lock system, GEM and up to 4 remote transmitters, which can be programmed with 4 different Transmitter Identification Codes (TIC).
