Content Theft-Deterrent
(If Equipped)
If
your vehicle has'this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm
system.
A red light located on top of your instrument panel (near
the center of the vehicle, next to the windshield) will
flash slowly when the system is armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
lock switch. The alarm will go off if someone damages
the vehicle, tampers with the trunk lock, enters the
vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or key to unlock the doors), or turns the
ignition on. Your horn will sound and your headlamps
will flash for up to two minutes. The system will also
cut
off
the fuel supply, preventing the vehicle from
being driven.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system will arm when you
use
either
the
power lock switch to lock the doors while any door
is
open and the key is removed from the ignition (if you
would like to
turn
off the power door lock switch
arming, see "Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index).
The security light flashes quickly to let you know when
the system is ready to arm with the power door switches.
The security light will stop flashing and stay on when
you press the rear of the power lock switch, to let you
know the system is arming. After all doors are closed
and locked, the security light will begin flashing at a
very slow rate to let you know the system
is armed.
