unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation. When the alarm is activated, the interior
switches for door locks, power sliding doors and power
liftgate are disabled. The Vehicle Security Alarm provides
both audible and visible signals. For the first three minutes,
the headlights will turn on, the park lamps and/or turn
signals will flash and Vehicle Security Light will flash
repeatedly and the horn will sound. For an additional 15
minutes, only the headlights, park lamps and/or turn
signals and Vehicle Security Light will flash.

The Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself after the 15
additional minutes of headlights and Vehicle Security Light
flashing, if the Vehicle Security Alarm has not been dis-
abled. If the condition which initiated the alarm is still
present, the Vehicle Security Alarm will ignore that condi-
tion and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and activate the Panic Alarm, optional power
liftgate, left power sliding door, and right power sliding
door from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using
a handheld Remote Keyless Entry key fob. The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system.
NOTE:Inserting the key fob into the ignition switch
disables the system from responding to any button pushes
from that key fob. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and
above disables the system from responding to all key fob
buttons for all key fobs.
Two key fobs may be supplied with the vehicle. Vehicles
built without the powered options will be equipped from
the factory with three-button key fobs, and those built with
power options will be equipped with up to seven-button
key fobs.
Using The Key Fob
Three-button key fobs will provide basic UNLOCK, LOCK,
and PANIC functions.
Seven-button key fobs will provide functions that allow the
same basic operation as the three-button, but may also be
used to operate the power liftgate (optional), power sliding
doors, and Remote Start feature (optional). Some features
can be programmed to the customers preferences. For
example, lights flash, or sound horn on lock.
