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

The system will allow you to lock your
keys in
the vehicle if you didn’t leave
them in the ignition.
You should,
however, be able to use
the transmitter to
get them out. After
26 seconds of no
motion, the transmitter shuts down to save
the battery. Wait about
30 seconds, then
rock the vehicle. The transmitter should
”wake
up” and unlock the doors.
This system can’t guarantee that you’ll
never be locked out of your vehicle. If
the battery is low or if
the transmitter is
in a place where the signal can’t get to
the antenna, it won’t unlock the doors.
Always remember to take your keys
with you.

You can also check whether the system is
on or
off by closing the door and walking
away with the keys and transmitter.
