Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content theft-deterrent
alarm system. You can disable the system or personalize
it to suit your needs. See “Secondary Information
Center” in the Index for more information.
With this system, the
SECURITY message on
the cluster will flash as
you open the door
(if your ignition is off).
This message reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
message should come on and stay on. If you are
using the remote keyless entry transmitter, the door
does not need to be open.
3. Close all of the doors. The SECURITY message
should go off after approximately 15 seconds.
The alarm is not armed until the SECURITY
message goes off.
If a door is opened without the key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. Depending on
how you have programmed the alarm in the secondary
information center, the horn may sound, the headlamps
may flash or both the headlamps and the horn will
activate. See “Secondary Information Center” in the
Index for more information.
Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. 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:
D
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.
D
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm if the system has been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with the key. You can also turn off the alarm by pressing
UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and turning it to START.
