The alarm is not armed if you lock
the doors with a key or the manual
lock lever.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
keyless access system, the vehicle's
passive locking feature can
automatically lock the vehicle and
arm the theft deterrent system
when you exit the vehicle.
See "Keyless Locking" under
"Driver Information Center" in
Section 1.
The power door lock switch will
not work to unlock the vehicle
when the alarm is set.
To disarm the system, you must
unlock the driver's door with the
transmitter.
If a door or the trunk is opened in
any other way, the alarm will go
off.
First, a pre-alarm will sound for
10 seconds. The horn will chirp
and the lights will flash. Then the
full alarm will sound.
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 the door with the
transmitter.
If the alarm is set off by accident,
you can shut it off by pressing the
unlock button on the transmitter
or starting the engine.
Section 3

If the unlock button on the trans-
mitter is pressed and the horn

the system was armed.
The following message will appear
in the Driver Information Center
display:
• THEFT ATTEMPTED (theft
attempted)
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
