Remember, the theft deterrent system won't activate if
you lock a door with a key or use the manual door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
D
Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. (Pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter disables the
-
theft deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the alarm. Cycling the ignition
without disarming the theft
also activate the alarm.

The vehicle should be locked with the door key after
the doors are closed if you don't want to activate the
-
theft deterrent system.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock either door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by using
the unlock button of the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm won't stop if you try to unlock a
door any other way.
