Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Content Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has the
remote keyless entry
system, the vehicle has
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
To activate the content theft-deterrent system, do the
following:
1. Close all the doors.
2. Lock the door with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The security light flashes.
If the vehicle is equipped with OnStar
®
, and OnStar
®
locks the doors, with all the doors closed, it will activate
the system.
If the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed, but a door is open, the horn
will chirp six times. Close the open door and the
system will be activated.
If a locked door is not opened with the remote keyless
entry transmitter, or OnStar
®
, the alarm will go off.
The front turn signal lamps will flash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for two minutes, then will turn
off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock, or
power door lock switch. The system can only be activated
with the remote keyless entry transmitter, or OnStar
®
.
You should also remember that you can start your vehicle
with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
• If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.
• Always unlock a door with a the remote keyless
entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
