Anti-scan feature

The anti-scan feature prevents

without entering a valid code. This
feature is to prevent unauthorized
entry.
During the anti-scan operation the
keypad lamp will flash.
Anti-scan will be turned off after:
• one minute of keypad inactivity
• the remote entry transmitter
UNLOCK button is pressed.
• the ignition is turned to the ON position
• a key turned to the UNLOCK position on the driver's door (if the
vehicle is equipped with Perimeter Anti-Theft)
