The power lock/unlock feature locks or unlocks the doors upon a customer request from a door lock control switch, the keyless entry keypad, the passive entry system or a RKE transmitter. The doors can also be locked by using a mechanical key in the driver door lock cylinder.
The passive entry feature automatically locks or unlocks the doors, or releases the liftgate latch (manual liftgate) or power opens the liftgate (power liftgate).
The exterior sounder provides lock/unlock and power liftgate open/close request confirmation. For detailed information, Refer to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description .
