• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door
Handle, if equipped. Refer to "Keyless Enter-
N-Go — Passive Entry" in "Things To Know
Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further
information.
• Push the Keyless Enter-N-Go ignition button
(requires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the
trunk button on the key fob cannot arm or
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create condi-
tions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle se-
curity alarm will remain armed when the battery
is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash, the
horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle
security alarm.
Security System Manual Override
The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you lock
the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the vehicle security
alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three
times and the exterior lights will blink three times
when you disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Check the vehicle for tampering.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY — IF
EQUIPPED
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the
key fob to unlock the doors or after opening any
door.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting
in the outside mirrors (if equipped).
The courtesy lights will fade to off after approxi-
mately 30 seconds, or they will immediately fade
to off once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position from the OFF position.
NOTE:
• The front courtesy overhead console and
door courtesy lights will turn on if the
dimmer control is in the "Dome ON" posi-
tion (extreme top position).
• The Illuminated Entry system will not oper-
ate if the dimmer control is in the "Dome
defeat" position (extreme bottom position).
