18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the vehicle
doors, liftgate, and liftgate flip-up window for unautho-
rized entry and ignition for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will sound
the horn intermittently, flash the headlights and tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster.
NOTE: The Panic and Security alarms are quite differ-
ent. Please take a moment to activate the Panic and the
Security modes to hear the differences in the horn. In case
one should go off in the future, you will need to know
which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it.

Rearming of the System:

If something triggers the Vehicle Security Alarm, and no
action is taken to disarm it, the system will turn off the
horn after three minutes, turn off all of the visual signals
after 15 minutes, and then the system will rearm itself.

To Arm the System:

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and exit the
vehicle.
2. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the power door
LOCK switch or the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
NOTE: The system will not arm if you lock the doors
with the manual door lock plungers or the driver's door
lock cylinder.
3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds
to signal that the system is arming. During this period,
opening any door or the liftgate will cancel the arming
process. If the system arms successfully, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the
alarm is set.
