The Vehicle Security Alarm re-mains armed during power lift-
gate entry. Pressing the liftgate
button will not disarm the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm. If someone

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, 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 re-
gardless 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 discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this oc-
curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when
you use the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to unlock the

This feature also turns on the ap-
proach lighting in the outside mirrors
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided). Refer to “Mirrors” in “Under-
standing The Features Of Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
The lights will fade to off after ap-
proximately 30 seconds, or they will
immediately fade to off once the igni-
tion switch is turned to ON/RUN from
the OFF position.
NOTE:
The front courtesy overhead
console and door courtesy lights
will not turn off if the dimmer
control is in the “Dome ON” po-
sition (extreme top position). The illuminated entry system
will not operate if the dimmer
control is in the “dome defeat”
position (extreme bottom posi-

lock the doors and liftgate, open both
front windows, open or close the op-
tional power liftgate, left power slid-
ing door, and right power sliding door
from distances up to approximately
20 m using a hand-held RKE trans-
mitter. The RKE transmitter does not
need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
NOTE: Inserting the RKE trans-
mitter with Integrated Key into the
ignition switch disables all but-
tons on that transmitter; however,
the buttons on the remaining
transmitters will continue to work.

Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as thebattery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.
