Theft-Deterrent Systems - Pontiac 2003 Aztek Owner's Manual

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
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located on top of
the instrument panel (near
the center of the vehicle,
next to the windshield) will
flash slowly to let you
know that the system has
been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go
off
if someone tries to
open one of the doors on the vehicle without the remote
keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn
the ignition without using the correct key. The horn will
sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will
flash anytime the alarm sounds.
If you would like to change the way the headlamps,
parking lamps and horn operate with the content
theft-deterrent system, see Vehicle Personalization on
page
2-53. If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver
Information Center (DIC), see DlC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-53.
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the
liftgatehailgate may be opened by using one of the
following methods:
From the outside, insert the key into the lock and
press REAR on the remote keyless entry
turn it clockwise, or
transmitter.
When the content theft-deterrent system
is
armed,
pressing the liftgate release button, located on
the instrument panel switchbank, will cause the alarm to
sound.
