PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm the
audible alert will sound for 29 seconds and flash
the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device
is not deactivated, the audible alert will sound
again after a five-second delay for another 29
seconds. If the trigger remains present, this
cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
14
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm system will also monitor the vehicle for
movement. When this portion of the alarm is
set, movement inside the vehicle or movement
of the vehicle will trigger the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

To Arm The System

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock switch, or the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the security alarm is arming. After
16 seconds the locks will activate and the
Vehicle Security Light will continue to flash
slowly. This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm system is fully armed.
NOTE:
The intrusion sensor (motion detector) ac-
tively monitors your vehicle every time you
arm the security alarm. If you prefer, you can
turn off the intrusion sensor when arming
the security alarm.
To disable the intrusion sensor, activate the
LOCK request three times using the RKE trans-
mitter during the arming period (lamp flashing
quickly). The intrusion sensor will automatically
be enabled the next time the security alarm is
set.

To Disarm The System

Push UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter, or insert
the key into the ignition switch and turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
• Battery disconnects will not disarm the
security alarm system.
• Using the key in the door lock cylinder
will only unlock the deadbolt locks.
• To open the doors after the security alarm
is set and the locks are activated, push
the unlock button on the RKE transmitter.
