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.

Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
doing any one of the following:
•
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
lock button.
•
Press the power door lock switch while the
driver's door is open.
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
The system will arm either:
•
Thirty seconds after all the doors and the
liftgate (MAXX) are closed.
•
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter a second time while all the
doors and liftgate are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm
in sixty seconds if a door or liftgate is open.
When the opened door or liftgate is closed,
it will also become armed.
The security light, located on the instrument
panel cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming
has been initiated. Once the system is armed, the
security light will flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second,
this means that a door or the liftgate is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may
lock the car with the lock knob on the doors.
