Content Theft-Deterrent; Pass-Key Iii+ Electronic Immobilizer - Chevrolet 2009 Equinox Owner's Manual

Content Theft-Deterrent

Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm system.
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. If you are
using the RKE transmitter, the door does not need to
be open.
3. Close all doors.
The key must be removed from the ignition to arm
the system.
If the theft-deterrent system is activated and a door or
the liftgate is opened without using the RKE transmitter,
a 10 second pre-alarm will occur, and the security light
will flash. The horn will sound rapidly for 10 seconds.
If you do not press unlock on the RKE transmitter or
insert the key in the ignition and turn if from the LOCK/
OFF position, the alarm will go off. The horn will sound
and the headlamps will flash for 30 seconds.
After the alarm has sounded for 30 seconds, the system
will re-arm itself automatically.
To disarm the theft-deterrent system, do one of the
following:
1. Unlock the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it from the
LOCK/OFF position.
