3. Close all doors.
The Security System Light
will turn off after about
30 seconds.
When the light turns off, the
system is armed.
The system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or the manual
lock lever.
To disarm the system, you must
unlock the vehicle using the
keyless entry transmitter. If the
driver's door is opened any other
way, the pre-alarm will activate.
The pre-alarm will sound for
10 seconds. The horn will chirp
and the lights will flash. Then the
full alarm will activate.
If any other door, the liftgate or
the hood is opened without using
the remote keyless entry transmit-
ter to unlock the vehicle, the full
alarm will activate.
The horn will sound and the
headlights will flash for up to
30 seconds.
The alarm will then turn off to
preserve battery power.
To avoid triggering the alarm, you
must unlock a door with the
Keyless Entry system.
If the alarm is set off by accident,
you can shut it off by pressing the
unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter or by
starting the vehicle.
To test the system, lock the doors
using the remote keyless entry
transmitter from inside the vehicle.
Wait for the Security System Light
to turn off. Then, unlock the driv-
er's door using the manual lock
lever. Open the door.

information.
If the alarm still does not sound or
the headlights do not flash, see
your dealer for service.
Note: The power door lock switch
will not work to unlock the vehicle
when the theft deterrent system is
