NOTE:
•The front courtesy overhead console and door cour-
tesy lights do not turn on if the dimmer control is in
the Dome ON position (extreme top position).
• The Illuminated Entry system will not operate if the
dimmer control is in the “Dome defeat” position

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 hand-held
Key Fob with RKE transmitter. The RKE transmitter does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system. NOTE:
Inserting
the Key Fob with RKE transmitter into
the ignition switch disables the system from responding to
any button presses from that RKE transmitter. Driving at
speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system
from responding to all RKE transmitter buttons for all RKE
transmitters.
