system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the ªUnlockº button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm the system. The Security Alarm
System will not disarm with a manual unlock, eitherthrough the lock plunger located on the inside of the
door, or through a key in the driver's door key cylinder.

The interior lights come on when you open any door.
They will remain on for about 30 seconds after all doors
are closed then fade to off.
The lights also will fade to off if you turn on the ignition
after you close all the doors.

liftgate, or activate the panic alarm from distances up to
about 23 feet (7 meters) using a hand held radio trans-
mitter. The transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle
