you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If
this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Se-
curity Alarm will remain armed when the battery
is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash, and
the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security
Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three
times and the exterior lights blink three times
when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle
for tampering.
Security System Manual Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock
plunger.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to
unlock the doors or open any door.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting
in the outside mirrors — if equipped. Refer to
“Mirrors” in “Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle” for further information.
The lights will fade to off after approximately 30
seconds, or they will immediately fade to off
once the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN
from the OFF position.
NOTE:
•
The front courtesy overhead console and
door courtesy lights do not turn on if the
dimmer control is in the “Dome defeat”
position (extreme bottom position).
•
The Illuminated Entry system will not op-
erate if the dimmer control is in the
“Dome defeat” position (extreme bottom
position).
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
(RKE)
The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock
the doors or open the power liftgate from dis-
tances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a
hand-held Key Fob with RKE transmitter. The
RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at
the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:
Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above
disables the system from responding to all
RKE transmitter buttons for all RKE trans-
mitters.
