REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and

at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system
from responding to all RKE transmitter buttons for all
RKE transmitters.

Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE
transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door or twice to
