Vehicle Security

This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
it impossible to steal.
Anti-theft Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.
The LED light, located on the
instrument panel near the
windshield, indicates the status of
the system.
Arming the System
1. Close all doors, liftgate,
and hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the
transmitter or the power door
lock button. The LED on the
instrument panel should come
on and stay on for about
30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, the alarm
system will arm, and the LED
will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating.
If a door, the hood, or liftgate is
opened without first unlocking with
the transmitter, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound for
about 30 seconds. The alarm
system will then re-arm to monitor
for the next unauthorized event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not activate if the doors are locked
with the key. You can start the
vehicle with a recognized transmitter
in the vehicle if the alarm has been
set off.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either unlock
the doors using the transmitter,
or start the vehicle with a
recognized transmitter in the
vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will not disarm the
alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
the transmitter. The alarm will not
stop if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
If is pressed and the horn chirps
three times, an attempted break-in
has occurred while the system was
armed.
If the alarm has been activated, the
THEFT ATTEMPTED message will
appear on the DIC. See Key and
Lock Messages on page 5 36 for
additional information.
