If
a
door
or
the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Lock Control System, the alarm will go off. It
will also go off if the trunk lock
or
door locks
are
damaged. Your vehicle's lamps will flash and the horn
will sound for several minutes, then will go off to save
battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't be activated
if you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
only activates if you use a power door lock switch or
Remote Lock Control System. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off, but this
does not shut off the alarm.
Here's how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don't want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, lock the door either using a key, or the
manual door lock switch.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Lock Control System. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If
you set off the alarm
by accident,
unlock any door
with your key.
You can also turn off the alarm by using the Remote
Lock Control System. The alarm won't stop if you try to
unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by fist having the driver's
window down. Activate the system by locking the doors
with the power door lock switch or the Remote Lock
Control System. Get out of the car and close the door and
wait for the SECURITY light to go out. Then reach in
through the window, unlock the door with the manual door
lock, and open the door. This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in
the Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
