Vehicle Start Up

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Viper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the VTSS is armed when it goes into battery save mode, it will wake up in the 15 minute lights flashing alarm mode. You must disarm the VTSS with the RKE UNLOCK button or the VTSS will start alarming whenever another monitored input is active.

Wake the vehicle up by pressing the Driver side exterior door handle.
If the door does not open, the vehicle is armed (VTA lamp will start flashing). Press the RKE unlock button and then press the exterior door handle.
If the VTSS is active there will be a 15 minute lights only alarm.
Place ignition in the RUN position (this exits Battery save mode and places the BCM in the normal powered state).
