The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keyless entry keypad button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility.

Each vehicle equipped with an keyless entry keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
