GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the Keyless Enter 'n Go™
Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle
Security system is armed, interior switches for door
locks and liftgate release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security system will pro-
vide the following audible and visible signals:
•
The horn will pulse
•
The parking lights and/or turn signals will flash
•
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:
1. If any doors, windows, or sunroof are open, close
them.
2. Make sure the vehicle's ignition is placed in the OFF
position.
○
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make
sure the vehicle's keyless ignition system is OFF.
3. Perform one of the following methods to lock the
vehicle:
○
Push lock on the interior power door lock switch
with the driver and/or passenger door open.
○
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob available in
the same exterior zone
page 21.
○
Push the lock button on the key fob.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
•
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
•
Grab the Passive Entry unlock door handle
(if equipped)
page 21.
•
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF
position.
NOTE:
•
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm
the Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key cyl-
inder when the alarm is armed will sound the alarm
when the door is opened.
•
The Vehicle Security system remains armed when
the power liftgate is opened using the liftgate button
on the key fob. If someone enters the vehicle
through the opened liftgate, then opens any door
from the inside, the alarm will sound.
•
If Passive Entry (if equipped) is used to unlock the
liftgate, the Vehicle Security system is disarmed and
the rest of the vehicle doors will remain locked
unless all doors are set to unlock on first press
within Uconnect Settings.
•
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the inte-
rior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security system will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the
horn off after a 29 second cycle (with five seconds
between cycles and up to eight cycles if the trigger
remains active) and then rearm itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL
