Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features;
however, they do not make the vehicle
impossible to steal.
Vehicle Alarm System
If equipped with the anti-theft alarm
system, the indicator light on the
instrument panel near the windshield,
indicates the status of the system.
Off : Alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid : Vehicle is secured during the
delay to arm the system.
Fast Flash : Vehicle is unsecured. A door or
the hood is open.
Slow Flash : Alarm system is armed.
Arming the Alarm System
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Lock the vehicle with one of the
following:
.
Press Q on the remote key.
.
With a door open, press Q on the
interior of the door.
3. After 30 seconds the alarm system will
arm, and the indicator light will begin to
slowly flash indicating the alarm system
is operating. Pressing
Q on the remote
key a second time will bypass the
30-second delay and immediately arm
the alarm system.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will not
arm if the doors are locked with the
mechanical key.
If the driver door is opened without first
unlocking with the remote key, the horn will
chirp and the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started,
or the door is not unlocked by pressing
K
on the remote key during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
If a door or the hood is opened without first
disarming the system, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will then
re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized
event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the
alarm if it has been activated:
.
Press K on the remote key.
.
Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.
Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the
remote key.
Unlocking the driver door with the
mechanical key will not disarm the system
or turn off the alarm.
Detecting a Tamper Condition
If K is pressed on the remote key and the
horn chirps three times, an alarm occurred
previously while the alarm system was
armed.
