● The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash
NOTE:
● The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to
standar
ds from different countries.
● The Vehicle Security system is a complementary
security system developed to hinder the occurrence
of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a
deterrent.
● The Vehicle Security system does not monitor glass
breakage or the movement of objects or people
inside the vehicle. The alarm does not intervene in
the case of vehicle tilt variations when it is parked.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
● For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make
sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the
v
ehicle:
● Push the lock button on the interior power door
lock switch with the driver and/or passenger
door open.
● Push the lock button on the exterior P
assive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob available
in the same exterior zone
ð
page 26.
● Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the Vehicle
Security Light (located in the lower left portion of the
instrument cluster display) will begin to flash every one
second until it is disarmed.
NOTE:
If the system is armed by pushing the lock button on
the interior door panel, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash rapidly for about 15 seconds once the door is
closed, then slow down to every one second.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
● Push the unlock button on the key fob.
● Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the
door
ð
page 26.
● Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm
the system.
NOTE:
● The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button
on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security system.
● The Vehicle Security system remains armed during
power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will
not disarm the Vehicle Security system. If someone
enters the vehicle through the opened liftgate, then
opens any door, the alarm will sound.
● When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred,
the Vehicle Security system will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
