engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out. If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start
your vehicle's engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off. If
failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealer to have the new key(s)
programmed.

from step 1 for each additional key.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM

The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.

Arming the system

When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
turn signal lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
• Press the driver or passenger door lock control while the door is open.

Disarming the system

You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
• Unlock the doors by pressing the
transmitter.
• Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front
of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms.

Triggering the anti-theft system

The armed system will be triggered if any door, the trunk or the hood is
opened without using the key or the remote entry transmitter.
