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 press the
unlock button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter or open a door or the liftgate.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting (if so
equipped). Refer to “IlluminApproach,” under “Personal
Settings (Customer Programmable Features),” under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Sec-
tion 4.
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 extreme
downward (Defeat) position.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate or activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to
about 35 ft (11 m) using a hand-held radio transmitter.
The transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
NOTE: Inserting the Fob with Integrated Key into the
ignition switch disables all buttons on that transmitter;
however, the buttons on the remaining transmitters will
continue to work. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and
above disables all transmitter buttons for all fobs.
