door lock switch. The security light
should flash. Remove the RKE
transmitter from inside the vehicle
and close the door. The security
light stops flashing and stays on.
After 30 seconds, the light should
turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to
automatically lock the doors and
arm the theft-deterrent system when
you exit the vehicle. See Vehicle
Personalization on page 5 51.
If a door or the hatch/trunk is
opened without using the RKE
transmitter, the alarm goes off. The
horn sounds for two minutes, then
goes off to save battery power. The
vehicle will not start without a RKE
transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system does not
arm if the driver door is locked with
the power door lock switch after the
doors are closed.
If the RKE transmitter is removed
from the vehicle while a passenger
is in it, have them lock the doors
after they are closed. The alarm will
not arm, so the passenger will not
set it off.
Testing the Alarm
To test the system use the following
procedure.
1. Make sure the trunk lid/hatch is
latched.
2. Lower the window on the
driver door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait
30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window
and manually pull the release
lever on the floor.
6. Press the button on the
transmitter to turn off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound, check
to see if the horn works. The horn
fuse may be blown. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10 45.
If the horn works, but the alarm
does not go off, see your dealer.

transmitter to disarm it.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
