This vehicle is equipped with a body control module (BCM) that performs multiple body control functions. The following vehicle systems are controlled by the BCM:

• | Audible warnings

- | Key in the ignition reminder

- | Fasten seat belt reminder

- | Driver information reminder

- | Turn signal reminder

- | Headlamps on reminder

- | Feature customization and diagnostics mode indication

- | Auxiliary chime functions (Instrument cluster)
