Chevrolet 2007 TrailBlazer Owner's Manua page 109

To operate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The security light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The security light should turn
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light turns off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the
RKE transmitter, the alarm will go off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will flash for
two minutes, and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn off to save the
battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key or use the
manual door lock. It activates only if you use a
power door lock switch with the door open, or with
the RKE transmitter. You should also remember
that you can start your vehicle with the correct
ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident, do the
following:
•
Always lock the vehicle using the door key
after the doors are closed.
•
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the
RKE transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any
door with the key. You can also turn off the alarm
by pressing unlock on the RKE transmitter.
The alarm will not stop if you try to unlock a door
any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, do the following:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver's
window and open the driver's door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch while the door is
open, or with the RKE transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
