Content Theft-Deterrent

Your vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when you lock
the doors using the key or the manual door lock. It arms
only when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter.

Arming the System

To arm the system, do the following:
1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and the
trunk or liftgate.
Make sure that the windows are closed, as the
system can be armed even if the windows are open.
2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF and remove the
key from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the transmitter
will not arm the theft-deterrent system.
3. Lock the doors by pressing the lock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter.
•
The LED light on the transmitter will flash once.
•
All of the doors will lock.
•
The hazard warning lamps will flash once and
the horn will sound.
•
The security light will flash continuously to
indicate that the theft-deterrent system is armed.
The security light is located on the center of
the instrument panel near the clock.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident, do one of the
following:
•
Unlock the driver's or passenger's front door using
the key.
•
Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the alarm
when a door or the trunk or liftgate is opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent system,
lock the vehicle using the key or the manual door locks.

the key.
