Operating your perimeter anti-theft system (if
equipped) from the keyless entry pad
The keyless entry
system arms by
pressing 7/8 and 9/0.
To disarm or reset a triggered anti-theft alarm, enter
the five digit code.
All doors must be fully closed for the anti-theft
system to arm. Refer to the Anti-theft system
section, if equipped, in this chapter for more details.
Autolock
The autolock feature is part of your remote keyless
entry system which locks all of the doors when:
• all vehicle doors are closed
• the ignition key is turned to the ON position
• the brake pedal is pressed
• you shift through R (reverse)
• one second has elapsed after the brake pedal is
released.
The autolock feature repeats when:
• a door is opened and then all doors are closed
• the brake pedal is released.
The doors may not lock automatically if the driver:
• shifts through gears without pressing the brake
• shifts through gears quickly after starting the
vehicle
• releases their foot from the brake while someone
has stepped out of the vehicle for a moment.
Deactivating the system by using the controls for the
keyless entry system:
1. Enter your permanent five-digit entry code (not
the user code you may have set).
2. Within five seconds, press and hold 7/8.
