20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If the previously described arming sequence has occurred, the system will arm regardless of whether you are inside or outside the vehicle. If you remain inside the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the system. Tamper Alert If something has triggered the alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering. ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM The interior lights will turn on when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open a 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 interior 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 illuminated entry system will not operate the interior lights if the dimmer control is in the "defeat" position (extreme downward position). REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate, open the liftgate flip-up window, or activate the panic alarm from distances up to 23 feet (7 meters) using a hand held radio transmitter. The transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. However, the line of transmission must not be blocked with metal objects when using the transmitter.
