Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the security light
will flash, reminding you to arm the theft-deterrent
system.
2-20
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
To arm the system, do one of the following:
•
Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter. If the door is closed when the lock
button is pressed, the security light will stay
illuminated for 30 seconds. After the security
light goes off, the theft-deterrent system is armed.
Pressing the lock button twice will arm the
system immediately.
•
Open the door. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or lock button on the keyless access
transmitter. The security light should flash. Close the
door. The security light will stop flashing and stay
on. After 30 seconds the light should turn off,
the theft-deterrent system is armed.
•
Passive Arming, if activated through the vehicle
personalization feature, will arm the system
automatically after you close the door and take at
least one keyless access transmitter with you.
The security light will turn on. After 60 seconds the
light should turn off. The theft-deterrent system
is armed. See Vehicle Personalization on
page 2-47.
If a door, hood or the trunk is opened without the
keyless access transmitter, the horn will sound for
30 seconds and the lamps will flash for two minutes.
The vehicle cannot be started without a keyless
access transmitter.
