Arming With The Power Lock Switch - Pontiac 2006 Grand Prix Owner's Manual

Arming with the Power Lock Switch

The vehicle's content theft-deterrent alarm system can
be activated when the key is removed from the ignition
and the power door lock switch of either the driver's or
front passenger's door is used to lock the vehicle. The
door needs to be in the open position when pressing the
power door lock switch. The alarm system will not
activate if the door is closed and the power door lock
switch is pressed. This system can be activated through
the Driver's Information Center (DIC). See "Lock Switch
Arm" under the Personal Programming Mode Screens in
DIC Controls and Displays (Base Level DIC) on
page 3-52 or DIC Controls and Displays (Uplevel DIC
with Trip Computer) on page 3-60.
When the doors are locked using the power door lock
switch of either front door, the red light, on top of the
instrument panel will start flashing indicating that the
system is arming. After all the doors are closed there will
be a time delay and then the red light will begin to flash at
a very slow rate indicating the system is armed.
