18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To Set The Security Alarm

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out
of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door LOCK
switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During
this period, if a door is opened, the ignition switch is
turned ON, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically
disarm. After approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows that the
Vehicle Security Alarm is fully armed.

To Disarm The System

Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter, or insert the key
into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to
the ON position.

Vehicle Security Alarm Manual Override

The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors using the manual door lock plunger.

liftgate or activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held Remote
