Battery Saver
When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to the courtesy lamps after
10 minutes and the demand lamps after 30
minutes.
This will prevent draining of the battery if those
lights have been left on inadvertently or if a door is
not completely closed. Battery voltage to these
lamps will be restored when the keyless entry
keypad is used, the remote entry transmitter is
used, any door is opened, the trunk is opened, or
the ignition key is turned to the ON position.
Perimeter Anti-Theft System
When armed, this system helps to protect your
vehicle against break-ins or theft.
When an unauthorized entry occurs, the system
triggers and will:
❑
flash the headlamps, parking lamps, and alarm
indicator light
❑
honk the horn
❑
prevent the engine from starting
NOTE: The factory installed Remote Entry System
has a PANIC feature that also honks the vehicle
horn and flashes the interior/exterior lamps when
the PANIC button on the remote entry transmitter
is pushed. The PANIC alarm and the Anti-Theft
alarm are two separate features. Both the
anti-theft alarm and the PANIC feature can be
active at the same time.
To tell the difference between a PANIC alarm and
a triggered Anti-Theft alarm:
❑
only the Anti-Theft alarm will cause the alarm
indicator light (located in the center of the
instrument cluster) to flash on and off.
❑
only the Anti-Theft alarm will prevent the
engine from starting.
For more information on the PANIC alarm, see
Remote Entry System in the Index.
