Enabling

To initialize the VTSS feature the operator must, with the engine compartment hood open, cycle the key in the liftgate key cylinder to the unlock position giving the BCM a disarm signal. At this time the visual alarm outputs the headlamps and marker lamps will function. However the audio alarm output the horn and engine disable portion of the VTSS will not function until there has been twenty consecutive engine run cycles. When this has occurred the total VTSS will function.

If during alarm being set the BCM receives a request from the RKE module to enter PANIC mode the BCM will cancel the alarm, return VTSS armed state and then perform the RKE PANIC feature.
