Unlocking
When operating the Unlock button on the remote coded key, an RF signal is transmitted.
If the Unlock button is operated for 0.25 second within approximately 4 metres of
the driver's side B-pillar, the BCM receives an unlock request. This is received from
the remote coded key via the remote receiver, located in the instrument panel between
the defog ducts. The BCM then:
| • | Unlocks both the doors (single-stage unlock) or just the driver's door
(two-stage unlock) |
| • | Disarms the theft and entry deterrent systems |
| • | Flashes the indicators twice |
Locking
When operating the Lock button on the remote coded key for 0.25 second within
approximately 4 meters of the driver's side B-pillar, a lock request signal is received
by the BCM via the remote receiver. The BCM then:
| • | Arms the theft and entry deterrent systems |
| • | Turns the dome lamp off if it is illuminated |
| • | Flashes the indicators once |
The vehicle cannot be locked if a door is open or ajar.
Rear Compartment Lid Release
When operating the rear compartment lid release button on the remote coded
key for 0.5 second within approximately 2 meters of the rear compartment lid, the
BCM checks that the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6mph) then activates the rear
compartment lock actuator.
Remote Coded Key Battery Failure
The remote coded key is powered by its own internal battery. If this battery
fails, no RF signal is transmitted when operating the lock, unlock and boot release
buttons. However, the remote coded key reader has the ability to power the key when
the key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned on, or to the start position.
This enables theft deterrent disarming.
