Security System

On EX and EX-L models
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the radio. This
alarm continues for two minutes,
then the alarm stops. To reset an
alarming system before the two
minutes have elapsed, unlock either
front door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system sets
automatically fifteen seconds after
you lock the doors, hood, and
tailgate. For the system to activate,
you must lock the doors from the
outside with the key, the lock tab,
the door lock switch, or the remote
transmitter. The security system
light next to the low oil pressure
indicator starts blinking immediately
to show you the system is setting

itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), or
the hood, will cause it to alarm. It
also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.
With the system set, you can still
open the tailgate with the master key
or the remote transmitter without
triggering the alarm. The alarm will
sound if the tailgate lock is forced, or
smashed.
The security system will not set if
the hood, tailgate, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door Lamp Monitor on
the instrument panel (see page
to see if the doors and tailgate are
fully closed. Since it is not part of the
monitor display, manually check the
hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
