Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times when you
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for
tampering.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open any
door.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting in the
outside mirrors (if equipped). Refer to “Outside Mirrors
with Turn Signal and Approach Lighting – If Equipped”
under “Mirrors” in Section 3.
The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or they
will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is
turned ON from the LOCK position.
NOTE: None of the courtesy lights will operate if the
dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extreme
downward position), unless the overhead map/reading
lights are turned on manually.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock the doors,
open the trunk, or activate the Panic Alarm from dis-
tances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld
radio RKE transmitter with integrated key. The RKE
transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system.
NOTE: Inserting the RKE transmitter with integrated
key into the ignition switch disables all buttons on that
RKE transmitter; however, the buttons on the remaining
RKE transmitters will continue to work. Driving at
speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables all RKE
transmitter buttons for all RKE transmitters.
