Operation
You don’t have to do anything for PKE to work when
the passive feature is on. Just walk toward your vehicle
with the
PKE transmitter, and the system will
automatically disarm your theft-deterrent system and
unlock the doors.
If it’s dark enough outside, your
interior lamps will come on.
If you move out of range, the PKE system will:
1. Lock the doors after five seconds.
2. Arm the theft-deterrent system.
3. Sound the horn to let you know the doors are locked.
4. Turn off the interior lamps.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter. Press
DOOR to open the passenger’s door or HATCH to open
the hatch. The HATCH button will only work when the
ignition is off.
The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and lock the doors, the system will unlock
the doors as soon as they are closed. If you leave the
keys in the ignition and move away with the transmitter,
the doors still will not lock. You should notice that the
horn doesn’t sound and return to get your keys.

display some instrument panel warning and indicator
lights.

the key. The ignition switch will return to RUN
for normal driving.
When
the engine is not running, ACC and RUN allow
you to operate your electrical accessories, such as the
radio.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition
is in OFF, LOCK or ACC and the key
is in the ignition.
