Arming the Alarm System

Use the Remote Keyless Entry (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 theft-deterrent alarm system will not
arm if the doors are locked with the key.
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
K
on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
If a door or the hood is opened without first
disarming the system, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound 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.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.
Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the RKE
transmitter.
Unlocking the driver door with the key will
not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.
Detecting a Tamper Condition
If
K
is pressed on the RKE transmitter and
the horn chirps three times, an alarm
occurred previously while the alarm system
was armed.
