Dodge 2008 Ram Pickup 1500 - Manual (Page 22)

NOTE: If the SECURITY light stays on continuously
during vehicle operation, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
To Disarm the System:
Use the RKE transmitter to UNLOCK the door. If some-
thing has triggered the system in your absence, the horn
will sound three times when you unlock the doors and
the SECURITY light will flash for 30 seconds. Check the
vehicle for tampering.
The Security Alarm System will also disarm if the vehicle
is started with a programmed Sentry Key
௡. If an unpro-
grammed Sentry Key
௡ is used to start a vehicle, the
engine will run for two seconds and then the Security
Alarm will be initiated. To exit the alarming mode, press
the RKE UNLOCK button, or start the vehicle with a
programmed Sentry Key
௡.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the vehicle
and lock the doors with the RKE transmitter, the alarm will
sound when you pull the door handle to exit. The door will
be locked, but the Security Alarm System will not arm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter or open the doors. This
feature is only available if you have Remote Keyless Entry.
The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds, or they
will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is
turned ON.
NOTE:
• The front courtesy overhead console and door cour-
tesy lights do not turn off if the dimmer control is in
the interior lights ON position (extreme top position).
• The illuminated entry system will not operate if the
dimmer control is in the extreme downward position.
