Controls and features
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the turn signal lamps and side repeaters and honk the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Press the remote entry lock control
• Press the interior power door lock control while the door is open
Twenty seconds after one of the above events occurs, any door/hood that
is closed is armed.
Any door/hood that still open is prearmed and waiting for the door/hood
to be closed.
Once that input is closed, the input will arm in 20 seconds and the
exterior lamps may flash.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
• Press the transmitter unlock control.
• Unlock the doors with a key.
• Turn a programmed SecuriLock key to RUN /START.
SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the
correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or
stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key
reprogramming.
The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle's engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLock electronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLock key is
read by the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLock
key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a SecuriLock key is not detected (vehicle theft
situation), the vehicle's engine will not operate.
