The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and

audible alert will sound for 30 seconds and
flash the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering
device is not deactivated, the audible alert will
sound again after a five-second delay for an-
other 30 seconds. If the trigger remains
present, this cycle will repeat for up to five
minutes.

alarm will trigger the audible alert for 29 sec-
onds. When this portion of the alarm is set,
movement inside the vehicle will trigger the
Vehicle Security Alarm.

3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the security alarm is pre-arming.
After 16 seconds the locks will activate and the
Vehicle Security Light will continue to flash

the Vehicle Security Alarm, an invalid key will
allow the engine to run for two seconds then
