Remote Key Unlock On First Press

This feature lets you program the system to unlock either the driver’s side, or all doors, on the first press of the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter.

• For vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

• For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, the Remote Unlock feature can be enabled or disabled by performing the following steps:

1. Perform this operation while standing outside the vehicle.

2. Press and hold the LOCK button on a programmed RKE transmitter for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. Then, press and hold the UNLOCK button while still holding the LOCK button.

3. Release both buttons at the same time.

4. Test the feature while outside of the vehicle by pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK buttons on the RKE transmitter with the ignition switch in the OFF position and the Key Fob removed.

5. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting.

NOTE:
Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter while you are inside the vehicle will activate the Vehicle Security Alarm. Opening a door with the Vehicle Security Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound.

Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the Vehicle Security Alarm.
