and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following conditions:

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM

This Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the vehicle
doors, liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, and ignition for
unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the
system provides both audible and visible signals. The
horn, headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash repeat-
edly for three minutes. If disturbance is still present
(driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after
three minutes, the headlights and tail lights will flash for
an additional 15 minutes.
NOTE: The Panic and Security alarms are quite differ-
ent. Please take a moment to activate the Panic and the
Security modes to hear the differences in the horn. In case
one should go off in the future, you will need to know
which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it.

Rearming The System:

If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the system will turn off the horn after three
minutes, turn off all of the visual signals after 15 minutes,
and then the system will rearm itself.

To Set the Alarm

Entry (RKE) transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate, or
when you use the power door lock switch while the door
is open. After all the doors are locked and closed, the
Vehicle Security Light (located in the instrument cluster)
will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the
system is arming. During this 16 second arming period,
