NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the
liftgate button on the RKE transmitter
cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains
armed during power liftgate entry. Press-
ing the liftgate button will not disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the liftgate and opens
any door the alarm will sound.
•
When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the secu-
rity system. To do so, press the LOCK
button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 15 seconds of arming the system
(while the Vehicle Security Light is flash-
ing rapidly). The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
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, the
horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm.Security System Manual OverrideThe system will not arm if you lock the doors
using the manual door lock plunger.

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.

The front courtesy overhead console and
door courtesy lights do not turn on if the
dimmer control is in the Dome ONposi-
tion (extreme top position).

The Illuminated Entry system will not oper-
ate if the dimmer control is in the “Dome
defeat” position (extreme bottom position).

Entry RKE Transmitter In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside
your vehicle, the Passive Entry system is
equipped with an automatic door unlock feature
which will function if there is no Key Fob present
in the ignition.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door
panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all
open doors have been closed the vehicle
checks the inside and outside of the vehicle for
any valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters. If one
of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmitters
is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid
Passive Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and
chirps the horn three times (on the third attempt
ALL doors will lock and the Passive Entry RKE
transmitter can be locked in the vehicle).
