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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has
the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system, the
vehicle has a content
theft-deterrent alarm
system.
To activate the content theft-deterrent system:
1. Close all the doors.
2. Lock the doors with the RKE transmitter. The
security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, will flash.
If the lock button on the RKE transmitter is pressed,
but a door is open, the horn will chirp six times. Press
the lock button again, within three seconds, and the
doors will lock. Close the open door and the system
will be activated.
If a locked door is not opened using the RKE transmitter,
®
or by OnStar , the pre-alarm will go off. If the engine
is not started or unlock not pressed within 10 seconds,
the front turn signal lamps will flash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for two minutes, then will turn
off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate if
you lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock, or
power door lock switch. The system can only be activated
using the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar
System on page 2-47 for additional information. You
should also remember that you can start your vehicle
with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
