PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

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 the theft indicator lamp
and will chirp the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is
turned OFF. 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.
• Use the door key to lock the doors (doors opened
or closed).
If a door or the liftgate
(wagon) is open, the
system is prearmed
and is waiting for the
door to close or liftgate to close. The THEFT
indicator in the instrument cluster will be lit
continuously when the system is prearmed.
