18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
• This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate, 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 repeatedly for three minutes. If disturbance is still
present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors, igni-
tion) 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.

To Set the Alarm

The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter to lock the doors and swing gate, or
when you use the power door lock switch while the door
is open. After all the doors are locked and closed, the
Sentry Key /Security Alarm Indicator Light (located on
the instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16
seconds to signal that the system is arming. During this
16–second arming period, opening any door or the swing
gate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully
arms, the Sentry Key /Security Alarm Indicator Light
will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set.

To Disarm the System

To disarm the system, you will need to press the UN-
LOCK button on the RKE transmitter, or turn the ignition
key to the ON position. If something has triggered the
system in your absence, the horn will sound three times
when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tam-
pering.
