Theft-Deterrent Systems

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal.

Content Theft-Deterrent

Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm system.
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If you are using the RKE transmitter, the door
does not need to be open.
3. Close all doors.
The key must be removed from the ignition to
arm the system.
If the theft-deterrent system is activated and a door or
the liftgate is opened without using the RKE transmitter,
a 10 second pre-alarm will occur, and the security light
will flash. The horn will sound rapidly for 10 seconds.
If you do not press unlock on the RKE transmitter or
insert the key in the ignition and turn if from the LOCK/
OFF position, the alarm will go off. The horn will sound
and the headlamps will flash for 30 seconds.
After the alarm has sounded for 30 seconds,
the system will re-arm itself automatically.
To disarm the theft-deterrent system, do one of
the following:
1. Unlock the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it from
the LOCK/OFF position.
