Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t be activated
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
only activates if you use a power door lock switch or
Remote Lock Control System.
You
should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set
off,
but this
does not shut off the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting
off
the alarm by accident:
If
you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked
after
the doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Lock Control System. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off
the
alarm.
Testing
the
Alarm
The alarm can be tested by first having the driver’s
window down. ’Activate the system by locking the doors
with the power door lock switch
or
the Remote Lock
Control System. Get out
of
the car and close the door and
wait for the SECURITY light to
go
out. Then reach
in
through
the window, unlock the door with the manual door
lock, and open the door.
This
should set
off
the alarm.
If
the alarm does not sound when
it
should, check
to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To
reduce the possibility
of
theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
If
you set
off
the alarm
by
accident,
unlock
any door
with
your
key.
You can also turn
off
the alarm by using the Remote
Lock Control System. The alarm won’t stop if you try
to
unlock a door any other way.
