VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
— IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the ve-
hicle doors, swing gate, and ignition for un-
authorized operation. While the vehicle secu-
rity alarm is armed, interior switches for door
locks are disabled. The vehicle security alarm
provides both audible and visible signals
when alarming. The horn will sound, the
headlights will turn on, the park lamps and/or
turn signals will flash repeatedly for three
minutes. If the disturbance is still present
(driver's door, passenger door, other doors,
ignition) after three minutes, the headlights,
park lamps and/or turn signals will flash for
an additional 15 minutes.
NOTE:
The Panic Alarm and the vehicle security
alarm are quite different. Please take a mo-
ment to activate the Panic Alarm and the
vehicle security alarm to hear the differences
in the horn. In case one should go off in the
future, you will need to know which mode has
been activated in order to deactivate it.

Rearming The System

If something triggers the alarm, and no action
is taken to disarm it, the vehicle security
alarm will turn off the horn after three min-
utes, turn off all of the visual signals after
15 minutes, and then the vehicle security
alarm will rearm itself.

To Arm The System

The vehicle security alarm will set when you
use the Remote Keyless Entry key fob to lock
the doors and swing gate, or when you use the
power door lock switch while the door is open.
After all the doors are locked and closed, the
vehicle security light (located on the instru-
ment cluster) will flash rapidly for about
16 seconds to signal that the vehicle security
alarm is arming. During this 16-second arm-
ing period, opening any door or the swing gate
will cancel the arming. If the vehicle security
alarm is successfully set, the vehicle security
light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the
vehicle security alarm is armed.

To Disarm The System

To disarm the vehicle security alarm, you will
need to push the unlock button on the key
fob, or turn the ignition switch to the ON/
RUN position. If something has triggered the
vehicle security alarm in your absence, the
horn will sound three times, and the exterior
lights blink three times when you unlock the
doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the vehicle security alarm
will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the key fob,
once the vehicle security alarm is armed
(after 16 seconds), when you pull the door
handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, push the unlock button on the key fob
to disarm the vehicle security alarm. You may
also accidentally disarm the vehicle security
alarm by unlocking the driver's door with the
key and then locking it. The door will be
locked but the vehicle security alarm will not
arm.
