Testing The Alarm - Hummer 2006 H3 Owner's Manual

Starting the engine with the correct key will shut off the
pre-alarm or alarm at any time.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate
if you lock the doors with the key, the manual door lock,
or power door lock switch. The system can only be
activated using the remote keyless entry transmitter,
®
or by OnStar . See OnStar
for additional information. You should also remember
that you can start your vehicle with the correct key if
the alarm has been set off.
Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
•
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the
manual door lock lever, the power door lock switch,
or the key, after the doors are closed.
•
If the content theft-deterrent system is armed,
unlock the doors by pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or by
®
OnStar . Unlocking a door any other way will
activate the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, you can turn it
off by pressing unlock on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, starting the vehicle with the correct key, or
®
by having OnStar unlock the doors. The alarm will
not stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.

Testing the Alarm

The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate the system by
locking the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and
open the door. This should set off the pre-alarm.
Wait 10 seconds for the full alarm to activate.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or start
the engine.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
lights flash, check to see if the horn works. The horn
fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-94.
If the alarm does not sound or the front turn signal
lamps do not flash, see your dealer for service.
