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

The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the content theft-deterrent system. See
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-4.
Your vehicle's theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Your vehicle is equipped
with a content
theft-deterrent alarm
system.
Active Arming: The system will arm when the lock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is
pressed. The security system light will come on steady
for thirty seconds. During this time you can still get
back into the vehicle without triggering the alarm. Once
the light starts flashing the system is armed. The
system will disarm when the unlock button on the
transmitter is pressed.
Passive Arming: The system will arm itself one minute
after the ignition is turned off and the driver's door
has been opened and closed. If the lock button on the
transmitter is pressed before the minute has passed, the
system will arm immediately. The system will disarm
when the unlock button is pressed.
Security System Disable: The system will not arm.
