during shorter periods of inactivity, perform the follow-
ing:

2. Make sure that Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit- ter is operating and that the battery is good. 3. Make sure that the HOOD, LIFTGATE, and DOOR
switches are in adjustment. Perform the quick system
check, which follows:

alarm SET light comes on and flashes, the system is
operating properly. If not, there is a problem with a
switch or the system. See your authorized dealer for
service.
