Security System

On EX model
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 flash if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the radio. This
alarm continues for two minutes,
then the system resets. To reset an
alarming system before the two
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver's front door with the key or
the remote transmitter.
The security system sets auto-
matically, 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, or 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.
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 and Tailgate Open
Monitor on the instrument panel
(see page 64 ) 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.
