WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RKE system consists of the following components:

- Smart junction box (SJB)
The RKE transmitter initiates the following electronic door lock system functions:
- Unlocks the driver door
- Unlocks all doors
- Locks all doors
- Activates/deactivates the panic alarm
- Commands the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
- Sounds the horn and flashes the parking lamps once when lock is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and the doors are closed
- Sounds the horn twice when lock is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and any door is ajar
The RKE transmitter has a minimum effective range of 10 m (33 feet).
NOTE:
The panic alarm feature only operates when the key is OFF.
NOTE:
The LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the RKE transmitter operate independently of key position.
The RKE transmitters (up to 6) are programmable and must be programmed at the same time.
