18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the vehicle
doors, swing gate, and ignition for unauthorized opera-
tion. When the Vehicle Security Alarm is activated, the
system provides both audible and visible signals. The
horn, headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash repeat-
edly for three minutes. If disturbance is still present
(driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after
three minutes, the headlights and tail lights will flash for
an additional 15 minutes.
NOTE: The Panic Alarm and the Vehicle Security Alarm
are quite different. Please take a moment to activate the
Panic Alarm and the Vehicle Security Alarm 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 The System:

If something triggers the 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 Set the Alarm

The Vehicle Security Alarm will set when you use the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to lock the doors
and swing gate, or when you use the power door lock
switch while the door is open. After all the doors are
locked and closed, the Vehicle Security Light (located on
the instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 sec-
onds to signal that the system is arming. During this
16 second arming period, opening any door or the swing
gate will cancel the arming. If the Vehicle Security Alarm
system successfully arms, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash at a slower rate to indicate the Vehicle Security
Alarm is set.
