of the switches for the VTSS system can be monitored using the DRBIII(R). The DRBIII(R) is also useful to determine the cause of a customer
complaint of the alarm going off with no apparent reason.
PANIC MODE (IF EQUIPPED)
Upon activation of the panic function the head lamps and park lamps flash in an alternating manner, the horn pulses every second and the courtesy
lamps are turned on. The panic mode allows normal night time driving by allowing the headlamps and park lamps to be on steady when the headlamp
switch is in the on position Panic mode is activated immediately by pressing the panic button once. It does not disarm the VTSS or unlock the doors. It
is canceled by pressing the button a second time, reaching a vehicle speed greater than 15 mph (24 kph), or after 3 minutes has elapsed in panic
mode. Once panic mode has been activated there is a 2-second delay before it will turn off. Once it is cancelled there is a 2-second delay before it can
be reactivated. This is to avoid the problem of deactivating and immediate reactivating due to multiple button presses.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
CENTRAL LOCKING (W/VTSS ONLY)
This feature allows the customer to lock/unlock all vehicle doors with the key from the front door or liftgate cylinder lock switch. The customer can
choose to program this feature to unlock all doors with one turn of the key or open the driver door only with the first turn of the key and open the other
doors with the second turn. Altering the operation of the unlock function via the key cylinder switch from one turn to two turns will also alter the
operation of the RKE transmitter from one press to two presses.
ROLLING (AUTOMATIC) DOOR LOCKS
All vehicle doors (including liftgate) are locked automatically once the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 mph (24 kph) and all doors (including liftgate)
are closed. This feature can also be enabled/disabled by the customer.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
This feature disables the door lock command from the interior door lock switch whenever the driver door is open and the key is in the ignition. This
prevents the driver from locking the keys in the ignition when using the power door locks. This feature is inoperable if the IOD fuse is not installed.
Telecommunications
HANDS FREE PHONE
The vehicle telecommunications system consists of a Hands Free Module, Rear view Mirror, and a Blue-tooth Hands Free Profile enabled cell phone.
The system allows vehicle occupants to use voice recognition technology to make, receive and screen phone calls without physically handling a cell
phone. The system has a programmable phone book that can prevent the vehicle operator from becoming distracted searching for a specific number.
Seven different wireless phones can be programmed to operate each individual system. Each of the seven phones is given a rank of priority when
programmed.
Incoming phone messages are transmitted to the vehicle occupants through the vehicles audio system when the ignition is on and the wireless phone is
on. Upon receiving the signal from an incoming phone call, the vehicle audio system will fade out the current CD/DVD or radio output. The vehicle
occupants are then directed to accept or reject the call. Outgoing audio messages are received through the microphone located in the rearview mirror then
transmitted via hardwire to the Hands Free Module and finally transmitted through the wireless phone. Volume of the voice prompts and incoming
conversation is controlled using the vehicles' radio audio controls and steering wheel controls if equipped. The rear view mirror contains a Phone Switch,
Voice Recognition Switch and a microphone. The rear view mirror transmits these inputs via hardwired circuits to the Hands Free Module.
