tion. The panic feature will operate if the ignition is
ON, but only if the Panic button is pressed prior to
starting the vehicle. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
km/h (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic
event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed.
The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to a
total of eight transmitters. The transmitter codes are
retained in the RKE module memory, even if the bat-
tery is disconnected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty
or lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be
programmed into the system using a DRB III scan
tool.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.

ble feature that allows the DDM/PDM to perform an
automatic door lock if the vehicle speed is above 25.7
km/h (15 miles-per-hour).
• Automatic Door Unlock On Exit - Customer
programmable feature that allows the DDM/PDM to
perform an automatic door unlock if the vehicle
