Vehicle Security

This vehicle has theft-deterrent features;
however, they do not make the vehicle
impossible to steal.

Vehicle Alarm System

If equipped with an anti-theft alarm system,
the indicator light, on the instrument panel
near the windshield, shows the status of the
system.

Off :

Alarm system is disarmed.

On Solid :

Vehicle is secured during the

delay to arm the system.

Fast Flast :

Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the

liftgate, or the hood is open.

Slow Flash :

Alarm system is armed.

Arming the Alarm System

1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Lock the vehicle in one of two ways:

.

Use the RKE transmitter.

.

With a door open, press

Q

on the

interior of the door.

3. After 30 seconds the alarm system will

arm, and the indicator light will begin to
slowly flash indicating the alarm system
is operating. Pressing

Q

on the RKE

transmitter a second time will bypass
the 30-second delay and immediately
arm the alarm system.

The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the
doors are locked with the key.

If any door or the hood 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

K

on the RKE transmitter during

the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.

The alarm will also be activated if any door
or the 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.

Disarming the Alarm System

To disarm the alarm system or turn off the
alarm if it has been activated:

.

Press

K

on the RKE transmitter.

.

Start the vehicle.

Avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

.

Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
exited and all doors are closed.

.

Always unlock the vehicle with the RKE
transmitter.

Unlocking the driver door with the key will
not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.

How to Detect a Tamper Condition

If

K

is pressed and the horn chirps and the

lights flash three times, an attempted
break-in has occurred while the system was
armed.
