20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • The system remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the trunk button will not disarm the system. If someone enters the vehicle through the trunk and opens any door, the alarm will sound. • When the system is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors. The VSA system is designed to protect 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 system 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 system. If the alarm system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the system will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the system. Tamper Alert If the alarm was triggered, but the warning signals have timed out, the park and taillights flash three times (instead of the normal twice) when unlocking the vehicle with a valid RKE transmitter to alert the driver. ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM - IF EQUIPPED The courtesy/reading lights will turn on when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open either door. This feature also turns on the approach lighting (if so equipped). For details, refer to "Illumination Approach," under "Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features)," under "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in Section 4 of this manual. The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is turned on.
