door is not completely closed. Battery voltage to
these lamps will be restored when the outside
front door handles are lifted, the Remote Entry
transmitter is used to unlock the doors, activate
the personal alarm or open the trunk, or the

entry system can also be affected by

vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.
