Your vehicle may have the optional content

theft deterrent alarm system.
With this system, a light on the radio will flash.
This light reminds you to activate the theft
system. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The light on the
radio should come on and stay on. If you are using
the remote keyless entry transmitter, the door does
not need to be open.
3. Close all doors. The light on the radio will slowly
flash once the system is armed.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to enter
the vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key) or turns the ignition on with an
incorrect key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and
-
back up lamps will flash for approximately two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be opened with
the remote keyless entry transmitter. If you use the key
to open the trunk, the alarm will sound. Also, the power
door lock switches are disabled. You must use your
remote keyless entry transmitter or your key to unlock
the doors when the system is armed.
