Battery Back-up Sounder
The battery back-up sounder is an
additional alarm system that will sound a
siren when the alarm is triggered. When
you lock your vehicle the system is armed.
The sounder has its own battery and will
sound an alarm siren even if someone
disconnects your vehicle battery or the
battery back-up sounder itself.
Triggering the Alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
• If someone opens a door, the liftgate
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.
• If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
• If you switch the ignition on without a
valid key.
• If the interior sensors detect movement
within your vehicle.
• On vehicles with a battery back-up
sounder, if someone disconnects your
vehicle battery or the battery back-up
sounder itself.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flashers will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
Full Guard and Reduced
WARNING
Do not arm the alarm with full guard
if passengers, animals or other
moving objects are inside your
vehicle. This could trigger the alarm.

Security
In full guard, the interior sensors are on
when you arm the alarm.
Note: The auxiliary heater can trigger false
alarms; always direct the airflow toward the
foot well when you use the auxiliary heater.
See Climate Control (page 76).
Reduced
In reduced, the interior sensors are off
when you arm the alarm.
Note: You can set the alarm to reduced for
the current ignition cycle only. The alarm
will reset to full guard the next time you
switch the ignition on.
Selecting Full Guard or Reduced
You can select full guard or reduced using
the information display. See General
Information (page 66).
Note: Selecting reduced does not set the
alarm permanently to reduced. It sets it to
reduced only for the current ignition cycle.
If you regularly set the alarm to reduced,
select Ask on Exit.
Ask on Exit
You can set the information display to ask
you each time which level of guard you
wish to set.
If you select Ask on Exit, the message
Reduced appears in the information
display each time you switch the ignition
off. See Information Messages (page
71).
If you wish to arm the alarm with the
reduced level, press the OK button when
this message appears.
If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard,
leave your vehicle without pressing the OK
button.
