Locks and Security
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure ALL key fobs (remote entry transmitters) are brought to the
dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the headlamps and/or parking lamps, and will chirp the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Press the remote entry lock
control (doors opened or closed).
• Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls on the
keyless entry pad at the same
time to lock the doors (doors
opened or closed).
• Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock the doors.
There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes ARMED.
Each door/hood or liftgate (wagon) arm individually, and if any
door/hood or liftgate (wagon) is open, then it must be closed for it to be
armed.
