Content Theft-Deterrent - Pontiac G5 Owner's Manual

Content Theft-Deterrent

Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter
lock button.
The system will arm after either of these
things occur:
•
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
•
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed,
the system will arm immediately. The system will
still arm in 60 seconds if a door is open. When
the open door is closed, it will also become armed.
104
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second,
this means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may
lock the car with the manual lock knobs on
the doors.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of
the following:
•
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button.
•
Turn the ignition on.
If the system is armed and the trunk is opened
using the trunk release button on the transmitter,
the system will temporarily disarm itself and re-arm
when the trunk has been closed. This allows you to
exit the vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter,
and open the trunk using the transmitter without
having to disarm and re-arm the system.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop flashing.
