THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19 NOTE: If the SECURITY light stays on continuously during vehicle operation, have the system checked by your dealer. To Disarm the System: Use the Keyless Entry transmitter to unlock the door. If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors and the security lamp will flash for 30 seconds. Check the vehicle for tampering. The Security system will also disarm, if the vehicle is started with a programmed Sentry Key. If an unprogrammed Sentry Key is used to start a vehicle, the engine will run for 2 seconds and then the security alarm will be initiated. To exit alarming mode, press the transmitter Unlock button, or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry Key. The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, the alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit. The door will be locked but the Security Alarm will not arm. ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM - IF EQUIPPED The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the keyless entry transmitter or open the doors. This feature is only available if you have Remote Keyless Entry. 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, 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). 2
