The security light flashes.
When the door is closed, the
security light stops flashing and
stays on solid for approximately
30 seconds. The content
theft-deterrent alarm is not
armed until the security light
goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is
active, the alarm is not activated
until all doors are closed and the
security light goes off.
Press when the driver door is
closed. The security light comes
on solid for approximately
30 seconds and then goes off.
The content theft-deterrent alarm
is not armed until the security
light goes off.
The theft-deterrent system will not
activate if the doors are locked with
the vehicle's key or the manual
door lock.
If a locked door is opened without
using the RKE transmitter, a
10-second pre-alarm occurs. The
horn chirps and the lights flash.
If the key is not placed in the
ignition and turned to START or the
door is not unlocked by pressing
during the 10-second pre-alarm, the
alarm goes off. The headlamps flash
and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds, then turns off to save
the battery power.
The vehicle can be started with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle with the door
key after the doors are closed.
Unlock the door with the RKE
transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way sets off the alarm if
the system has been armed.
Press or place the key in the
ignition and turn it to START to turn
off the alarm.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower
the driver side window, and open
the driver door.
2. Press .
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the
door, and wait for the security
light to go out.
4. Reach in through the window,
unlock the door with the manual
door lock, and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, but the headlamps flash,
check to see if the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To replace
the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 10 28.
If the alarm does not sound or the
headlamps do not flash, see your
dealer for service.
