Vehicle Security; Vehicle Alarm System - Buick Encore 2014 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Security

This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
the vehicle impossible to steal.

Vehicle Alarm System

If equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, the indicator light, on the
instrument panel near the
windshield, shows the status of the
system.
Arming the System
1. Close all doors, the hood, and
the liftgate.
2. Lock the vehicle using the
transmitter or the power door
lock button with the door open.
The indicator light on the
instrument panel should come
on and flash for about
30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, or if the
button on the transmitter is
pressed twice, the alarm system
will arm, and the indicator light
will begin to slowly flash to show
that the alarm is operating.
If any door or the hood is opened
without first unlocking with the
transmitter, the turn signals will flash
and the horn will sound for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorized event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not activate if the doors are locked
with the key.
Keys, Doors, and Windows
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either unlock
the doors using the transmitter,
or start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking the driver
door with the backup key will not
disarm the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
the transmitter, or start the vehicle
with a recognized transmitter in the
vehicle. The alarm will not stop if
you unlock the driver door with
the key.
