Arming the system

When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
headlamps and/or parking lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever key is removed from the ignition.
Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
• Press the 7 • 8 and the 9 • 0 on the keyless entry keypad (if
equipped) at the same time.
• Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock all the doors.
Note: The hood and each door arm individually, and if any of them are
open, they must be closed in order to be armed.
When you press the
within three seconds:
• the horn will chirp once to indicate the hood and each door are closed.
• the horn will chirp twice to indicate that either the hood or a door is
still open.

Disarming the system

You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
• Unlock the doors by pressing the
transmitter.
• Unlock the doors by using the keyless entry pad.
• Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front
of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms.
• Turn the ignition to the 4 (ON) position.
• Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter. This will only
shut the horn off when the alarm is sounding; the alarm system will
still be armed.

The armed system will be triggered if:
• Any door or the hood is opened without using the key or the remote
entry transmitter.
