Theft-Deterrent System

The theft-deterrent system is designed to
prevent your vehicle or its contents from

sounds the horn and flashes the hazard

system transmitter.
The system will not function unless
l
it is properly armed. To properly
secure the vehicle, always make sure
all windows are completely closed
and all doors and the liftgate are
locked before leaving the vehicle.
Make sure the security indicator light
is flashing. Remember to take your
key and transmitter.
qOperation

The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash for about 3
minutes when the system is triggered by
any one of the following:

l
operating an inside door-lock knob or
the hood release handle.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
