To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate, or when
you use the power door lock switch while the door is
open. After all the doors are locked and closed, the Sentry
Keyt/Security Alarm Indicator Light (located in the
instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 sec-
onds to signal that the system is arming. During this
16–second arming period, opening any door or the
liftgate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully
arms, the Sentry Keyt/Security Alarm Indicator Light
will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, you will need to press the UN-
LOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter or
turn the ignition key to the ON position. If something has
triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound
three times when you unlock the doors. Check the
vehicle for tampering.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE transmitter, once
the system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to
disarm the system. You may also accidentally disarm the
system by unlocking the driver’s door with the key and
then locking it. The door will be locked but the Security
Alarm will not arm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The interior lights come on when you open any door.
They will remain on for about 30 seconds after all doors
are closed then fade to off.
The lights also will fade to off if you turn on the ignition
after you close all the doors.
