Key Functions
qKeyless Entry System
This system uses the more traditional
keyless entry buttons to remotely lock and
unlock the doors and opens the trunk lid,
and opens the power windows.
It can also help you signal for attention.
Press the buttons slowly and carefully.
NOTE
The keyless entry system is designed to
l
operate up to about 2.5 m (8 ft) from the
center of the vehicle, but this may vary due
to local conditions.
The system does not operate when the
l
auxiliary key is in the ignition switch.
With the start knob installed in the OFF/
l
LOCK position, the system is fully
operational. If the ignition is not switched
off or the start knob is pushed in, the system
does not operate.
Both doors cannot be locked by pressing
l
the lock button while either door is open.
The hazard warning lights will also not
flash.
(With power retractable hardtop)
l
The trunk lid cannot be operated remotely if
the power retractable hardtop is not fully
opened or fully closed.
If the transmitter does not operate when
l
pressing a button or the operational range
becomes too small, the battery may be
dead. To install a new battery, refer to
Maintenance (page 3-5).
