When the door is closed, the
security light stops flashing and
stays on solid for approximately

•
Press when the driver door is
closed. The security light comes
on solid for approximately
30 seconds and then goes off.
The content theft deterrent alarm
is not armed until the security light
goes off.
The theft-deterrent system will not
activate if the doors are locked
with the vehicle's key or the manual
door lock.
If a locked door is opened without
using the RKE transmitter, a
ten second pre-alarm occurs. The
horn chirps and the lights flash.
If the key is not placed in the ignition
and turned to START or the door
is not unlocked by pressing
during the ten second pre-alarm, the
alarm goes off. The headlamps
flash and the horn sounds for about
two minutes, then turns off to
save the battery power.
The vehicle can be started with the
correct ignition key if the alarm
has been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
•
Lock the vehicle with the door
key after the doors are closed.
•
Unlock the door with the RKE
transmitter. Unlocking a door
any other way sets off the alarm
if the system has been armed.
K
Press or place the key in
the ignition and turn it to START to
turn off the alarm.
