The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
later in this section or program the next feature available
on your vehicle.

Lights Flash at Lock

This feature allows the exterior lamps to flash once
when the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
lock the vehicle. All doors must be closed for this feature
to work, and the lamps will not flash if the parking
lamps or headlamps are on. The following modes are
available for selection:

Mode 1: ON

Mode 2: OFF

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed to Mode 1. The mode to which the
vehicle was programmed may have been changed since
it left the factory. To program the vehicle to a different
mode, do the following:

1. Enter the Personalization menu following the

instructions listed previously.

2. Scroll to Remote Keyless Options to highlight it.
3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to view the modes.
4. Scroll to Lights Flash At Lock and press the knob

once to select it.

When the mode is turned on, an X will appear in
the box to the left.

You can select this feature by itself, or you can combine
it with Horn Sounds At Lock so that both the lights
flash and the horn chirps when you lock your vehicle.

The mode you selected is now set. You can either
exit the programming mode by following the instructions
later in this section or program the next feature
available on your vehicle.

Horn Sounds at Lock

This feature sounds the horn once when the remote
keyless entry transmitter is used to lock the vehicle. All
doors must be closed for this feature to work. The
following modes are available for selection:

Mode 1: ON

Mode 2: OFF

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed to Mode 2. The mode to which the
vehicle was programmed may have been changed since
it left the factory. To program the vehicle to a different
mode, do the following:

1. Enter the Personalization menu following the

instructions listed previously.

2. Scroll to Remote Keyless Options to highlight it.
