GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.

If something triggers the alarm and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system
will turn the horn off after a 29 second cycle
(with five seconds between cycles and up to
eight cycles if the trigger remains active) and
then rearm itself.
