2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push lock on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger
door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior Pas-
sive Entry Door Handle with a valid key fob
available in the same exterior zone (refer
to "Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry,"
located in “Doors” in “Getting To Know
Your Vehicle" for further information).
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
Security System Manual Override
The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you lock
the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
• Push the unlock button on the key fob.
• Grasp the passive entry unlock door handle (if
equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry" located in “Doors” in “Getting
To Know Y our Vehicle" for further information).
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the
OFF position.
– For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter -N-Go — Passive Entry, push the
keyless ignition button (requires at least
one valid key fob in the vehicle).
– For vehicles not equipped with Keyless
Enter -N-Go — Passive Entry, insert a
valid key into the ignition and turn the key
to the ON position.
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
• The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the lift-
gate button will not disarm the vehicle secu-
rity alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens any door , the
alarm will sound.
• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not un-
lock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle. However , you can create condi-
tions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm 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 alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle se-
curity alarm 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 alarm.
