Shipping Mode

When the vehicle is shipped it will be in the Shipping Mode. The BCM will enter battery save mode immediately after it goes to sleep. This is providing the following are performed: 

VEHICLE START UP 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. 

  1. Enter the vehicle using the outside driver door key cylinder or driver door inside handle.
  2. Place ignition in the RUN position (this wakes up the BCM and all power is restored).
  3. If the VTSS is active there will be a 15 minute lights only alarm.
  4. To cancel VTSS, press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter. (Note: Any change in monitored input will cause the horn to alarm).
