Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RKE system uses an Intelligent Access (IA) key. The Intelligent Access (IA) key incorporates both the PATS and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.
The RKE transmitters initiate the following electronic system functions:
- Unlocks the driver door
- Unlocks all doors
- Locks all doors
- Opens the power liftgate
- Arms/disarms the perimeter alarm
- Activates/deactivates the panic alarm
- Commands the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
- Provides a long flash of the turn signals when unlock is pressed
- Recalls the memory seat position associated with a particular remote entry device (when enabled)
- Remotely start the engine (if equipped with the factory installed system)
- Sounds the horn 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 transmitters have a normal operating range of 20 m (65.62 ft).
