Security System (For some types)
When you lock the doors and the
tailgate with the key or the remote
transmitter, all outside turn signals
and both indicators in the instrument
panel flash three times to verify the
doors and the tailgate are locked and
the security system has set. When
you unlock them, these lights flash
once.
The security system also sets after
you lock the doors and the tailgate
with the lock tab or master door lock
switch on the driver's door while
pulling the outside door handle.

Features
Once the security system is set,
opening either door or tailgate
(without using the key or the remote
transmitter), or the bonnet, will
cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the
audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The alarm will also be activated if
the passenger inside the locked
vehicle turns the ignition switch on.
On vehicles with super locking system
When you set the super locking
along with the security system, the
alarm is not activated if someone
tries to open a door with the lock
tabs or the master door lock switch.
The security system will not set if
the bonnet, tailgate, or either door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the door and tailgate open
monitor on the multi-information
display (see page 99 ), to see if the
doors and tailgate are fully closed.
Since it is not part of the monitor
display, manually check the bonnet.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
