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

Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
A light located on top of
the instrument panel (near
the center of the vehicle,
next to the windshield) will
flash slowly to let you
know that the system has
been armed.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
open one of the doors on the vehicle without the remote
keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn
the ignition without using the correct key. The horn will
sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will
flash any time the alarm sounds.
If you would like to change the way the headlamps,
parking lamps and horn operate with the content
theft-deterrent system, and your vehicle is equipped
with the Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-52 .
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the
liftgate/tailgate may be opened by using one of the
following methods:
•
From the outside, insert the key into the lock and
turn it clockwise, or
•
press REAR on the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed,
pressing the liftgate release button, located on
the instrument panel switchbank, will cause the alarm
to sound.
