Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
With this system, the
security light in the
instrument panel cluster
will flash as you open
the door if your
ignition is off.
This light reminds you to activate the
theft-deterrent system. Here is 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 light will illuminate to inform the driver
the system is arming. If a door is open when
the doors are locked, the security light
will flash.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is turned on,
the theft-deterrent system will not start
the arming process until the last door is
closed and the delay timer has expired.
See Delayed Locking on page 102.
If a locked door is opened without the key or
the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will
go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will
flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery
power. You can choose different feedback options
for the alarm. See DIC Vehicle Customization
on page 234.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with the vehicle’s 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.
