Keys, Doors, and Windows
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter, the horn will chirp and
the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not
started, or the door is not unlocked
by pressing
transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
If the charge cord theft alert is
enabled, the alarm will also be
activated when there is an attempt
to remove the charge cord, or if a
passenger door, the trunk, or the
hood is opened without first
disarming the system. When the
alarm is activated, the turn signals
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorized event.
The Charge Cord Theft Alert feature
