antenna and inside key antenna corresponding to the pres sed door request switch (if equipped) and trans-
mits the request signal to the Intelligent Key. T hen check that the Intelligent Key is near the door.
• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key ant enna detection area, it receives the request signal and
transmits the key ID signal to the BCM via remote keyless entry receiver.
• BCM receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
• BCM locks/unlocks each door.
• BCM sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer (lock: 2 ti mes, unlock: 1 time) and blinks hazard warning lamps
