Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control - Unlock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RKE feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of key position, vehicle speed, or transmission position. The RKE feature provides a stepped process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the first request for unlocking the doors, the RKE control feature requests the SJB to unlock the driver door only. If another unlock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE feature requests the SJB to unlock all the doors. This feature can be changed to global unlock, so that all the doors unlock on the first press of the unlock button. Refer to Stepped Unlock Programming in this article for programming information.

The SJB accepts programming of up to 4 IKTs. In addition to the IKTs, 4 conventional keyfobs can also be programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer. For information on programming the IKTs, refer to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment in ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) article or ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) - HYBRID article. For information on programming the conventional keyfobs, refer to Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming .
