Anti-Theft Alarm System

This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.
The LED light, located on
the instrument panel near the
windshield, indicates the status
of the system.
Arming the System
To arm the system,
1. Close all doors, liftgate,
and hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the
transmitter or the power door
lock button. The LED on
the instrument panel should
come on and stay on for
about 30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, the alarm
system will arm, and the
LED will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating.
If a door, the hood, or liftgate is
opened without first unlocking with
the transmitter, the turn signals
will flash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. The alarm
system will then re-arm to monitor
for the next unauthorized event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system
will not activate if the doors are
locked with the vehicle's key.
You can start the vehicle with
a recognized transmitter in the
vehicle if the alarm has been
set off.

Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either
unlock the doors using the
transmitter, or start the vehicle
with a recognized transmitter
in the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking a door
any other way will not disarm
the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
the transmitter. The alarm will not
stop if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
