The keyless entry system is a supplementary vehicle entry
device. Radio frequencies or discharged batteries may disable the system.
Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components:
| • | The rear compartment lid release |
| • | The illuminated entry lamps |
| • | The panic alarm (instant alarm) |
The keyless entry system has the following main components:
| • | The body control module (BCM) |
When you press a button on a transmitter, the transmitter sends a signal
to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function.

Keyless Entry Personalization
The exterior lamps and horn chirp may be personalized as part of the
remote activation verification feature. For mode descriptions and programming
instructions, refer to
Vehicle Personalization
in Personalization.
Rolling Code
The keyless entry system uses rolling code technology. Rolling code
technology prevents anyone from recording the message sent from the transmitter
and using the message in order to gain entry to the vehicle. The term "rolling
code" refers to the way that the keyless entry system sends and receives
the signals. The transmitter sends the signal in a different order each
time. The transmitter and the body control module (BCM) are synchronized
to the appropriate order. If a programmed transmitter sends a signal that
is not in the order that the BCM expects, then only the panic button will
function.
