VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
ignition for unauthorized operation. While the V ehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior
switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm,
the V ehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn
will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the V ehicle Security Light in
the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm:
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security Alarm:
• Push LOCK on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or passenger door
open.
• Push the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• The V ehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the V ehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened,
the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner,
the V ehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• During the 16-second arming period, if a door is opened or the ignition is cycled to
ON/RUN, the V ehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
• Once armed, the V ehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door
trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
• Using the key to open the liftgate while the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed will not
trigger the theft alarm.
To Disarm:
The V ehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any of the following methods:
• Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position.
