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 may have a theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when
you lock the doors using the key or the manual
door lock. It arms only when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk or liftgate.
Ensure that the windows are closed, as the
system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Turn the key to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the
transmitter will not arm the theft-deterrent
system.
3. Lock the doors by pressing the lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
•
The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
•
All of the doors will lock.
•
The hazard warning lamps will flash once
and the horn will chirp.
•
The security light will flash to indicate that
the theft-deterrent system is armed. For
hatchback models, the security light
is located on the secondary information
center (SIC) on the center of the instrument
panel. See Secondary Information Center
(SIC) (Hatchback Only) on page 179.
For sedan models, the security light is
located on the center of the instrument
panel near the clock. See Instrument Panel
Overview on page 136.
