Arm/Disarm Switch: Description and Operation

VTSS DISARM SWITCH




In case of Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) failure, the Vehicle Theft/Security System (VTSS) Disarm Switch can be used to disarm the VTSS. The VTSS disarm switch is a key cylinder mounted, momentary contact switch. This key cylinder is keyed the same as the ignition key. This switch can only be used to disarm the VTSS, not to arm the system. When the RKE or the electric door lock switch is locked, the system will then re-arm itself.

The VTSS Disarm Switch is located in the top of the storage box in the center of the rear bulkhead trim panel.

To disarm the system using the VTSS disarm switch:

1. Open the liftglass with the ignition key.

NOTE: The alarm will now be triggered until the disarm switch is activated.

2. Reach in through the liftglass opening and pull down on the manual door latch lever to open the door.
3. Insert the key and turn to disarm the system.
