• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key ant enna (rear bumper) 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 transmits the trunk open request signal and sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer 4 consecutive
times.
• When BCM receives the trunk open request signal, it operates the trunk release solenoid and opens the trunk.
