20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 Remote Keyless Entry (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. NOTE: • The front courtesy overhead console and door courtesy lights do not turn on if the dimmer control is in the interior lights ON position (extreme top position). • The illuminated entry system will not operate if the dimmer control is in the "defeat" position (extreme downward position).
