Illuminated entry request with RAP module
All interior courtesy lamps are turned off when any of the following occurs:
-
Twenty-five seconds have elapsed after all the doors are closed.
-
The ignition switch is turned to RUN.
-
Vehicle speed is over 8km/h (5mph).
-
A power door lock command is received before the five seconds have elapsed.
Illuminated Entry
The interior courtesy lamps will be turned on if any front door handle is lifted or if any door is ajar. If the lamps are turned on by lifting the front door
handle or by illuminated entry request from the RAP module, the lamps stay on for 25 seconds.
The interior courtesy lamps are turned off when the following conditions are met.
-
25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the interior lamp control is not activated.
-
The GEM receives a request from the RAP module and the courtesy lamp is not activated.
-
The ignition switch is in the RUN or START position, and the interior lamp control is not activated.
Delayed Accessory
The module provides temporary power to the power windows for ten minutes after the ignition switch is moved from the RUN to OFF position. If
during this ten-minute period either front door is opened, the delayed accessory relay will be de-energized.
One-Touch Window
When the power switch for driver window control is held down (between 0.04 and 0.4 seconds) and then released with the ignition switch in RUN or
ACC, the driver window will automatically move to its full down position.
Only the driver window has this feature. Holding the switch down longer allows the operator to stop the window as soon as the switch is released.
Four-Wheel Drive Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly
This feature electronically shifts the vehicle transfer case between 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD LOW. The system mode is selected by the operator through
a three-position rotary switch on the instrument panel. The operator is informed which mode the system is in by two cluster indicator lamps, one for
4WD HIGH, and one for 4WD LOW (in 4WD LOW, both lamps are on). The GEM accomplishes shifts between different system modes by
interpreting inputs from 4x4 selector switch, the vehicle speed signal, and the transfer case contract plates. Based on these inputs, two relays (L2H and
H2L directional control), the transfer case motor, and an output for the transfer case electric clutch, are used to shift into 2WD, 4WD HIGH, or 4WD
LOW. The GEM will not allow shifts into 4WD LOW unless the brake is depressed, the vehicle is in NEUTRAL (with automatic transmission
vehicles), the clutch is pressed (in manual transmission vehicles), and the speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
