A message 'REMOVE SMART KEY' will be displayed if the Smart Key is still in the start control module and the driver's door is
opened.
Low Frequency Antenna
Three Low Frequency (LF) antennae for the passive start system are positioned in specific locations in the vehicle; refer to
Component Location graphic.
NOTE: On vehicles with the passive entry system, five additional antennae are used; one integrated into the rear bumper
and one in each door handle assembly. These are only used by the passive entry system and have no function in the passive
start system.
The keyless vehicle module transmits an LF signal via the antennae which is received by the Smart Key. The Smart Key then
responds by transmitting a Radio Frequency (RF) signal which is received by the RF receiver and passed to the keyless vehicle
module for authorization.
Keyless Vehicle Module
The keyless vehicle module controls signal transmissions to and from the Smart Key and provides authorization to allow the
vehicle to be started. The module has a medium speed CAN connection to the CJB for authorizing vehicle starting.
Radio Frequency Receiver
The Radio Frequency (RF) receiver transmission is received from the Smart Key to enable key identification.

System Operation
The hinged panels are secured with latches and strikers. A remotely operated central locking system controls the locking and
unlocking of the door and luggage compartment latches. A radio frequency Smart Key allows the vehicle to be locked and
unlocked by pressing the appropriate handset buttons. Two levels of central locking system are available: remote central
locking and an optional passive entry system.
The passive entry and associated passive start system allows the driver to unlock and start the vehicle without using a vehicle
key in a door-lock or ignition switch. The passive entry system is an optional fitment while the passive start system is a
standard fitment on all vehicles. The passive start system is combined with the passive anti-theft immobilization system.
Refer to: Anti-Theft - Passive (419-01B Anti-Theft - Passive, Description and Operation).
Emergency access to the vehicle is provided by two concealed key barrels: one located in the front left-hand door handle and
one located on the underside of the luggage compartment lid finisher. An emergency, removable key blade is fitted into the
Smart Key.
Operation of either key barrel unlocks the vehicle but does not disarm the alarm system. The key barrels in the door and
luggage compartment lid are concealed by a plastic cover which can be removed by inserting the blade of the emergency key
into a slot in the cover.
Locking and unlocking conditions using the emergency key in the door key barrel:
If the alarm is not armed the vehicle can be centrally unlocked.
If the alarm is armed the door only can be opened and the alarm will be triggered.
The vehicle cannot be double locked or the alarm system armed using the emergency key.
The vehicle can be centrally locked and unlocked from inside using the interior handle release levers on the front doors only.
Central locking and unlocking can also be performed using lock and unlock buttons on the vehicle's fascia. The driver can select
locking options, single point entry or drive away locking for example, from a menu available on the touch screen.
Central Locking – Radio Frequency Remote System
The radio frequency central locking system, provides locking and unlocking of the vehicle from inside and outside of the
vehicle. The system is operated using buttons on the Smart Key, which transmits radio frequency signals to the central locking
radio frequency receiver.
The system provides additional security by double-locking the doors from outside the vehicle if the lock button, on the Smart
Key, is pressed twice within 3 seconds; this function is not applicable in North American Specification (NAS) and Japanese
markets.
Additional buttons on the Smart Key provide for the convenience operation of the luggage compartment lid release, headlamp
delay and panic alarm functions. A global open or close feature is also available in certain markets using the lock/unlock
buttons.
Passive Entry
On vehicles fitted with the optional passive entry system, the vehicle can be unlocked without the use of a key blade or
pressing buttons on the Smart Key. The Smart Key operates the passive entry system in addition to the passive start system.
Refer to: Anti-Theft - Passive (419-01B Anti-Theft - Passive, Description and Operation).
The passive entry system is controlled by the keyless vehicle module and five low frequency antennas. One antenna located in
each door handle and one antenna located behind the rear bumper cover.
When a vehicle door handle is pulled to the first five-percent of its travel and the Smart Key is within one meter of the handle;
the Smart Key receives the low-frequency signal transmitted from the keyless vehicle module. The Smart Key responds with a
radio frequency transmission of its authorization code. The radio frequency signal is received by the central locking radio-
frequency receiver and passed to the keyless vehicle module which checks and approves the code as valid. Once the handle is
