Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s still best to lock it up and take your key.
But what if you have to leave your key? What if you
have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
D
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.
D
If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.
D
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Content Theft-Deterrent (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system.
A light located on top of the
instrument panel (near the
center of the vehicle, next to
the windshield) will flash
slowly to let you know that
the system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
open one of the doors on the vehicle without the remote
keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the
ignition without using the correct key. The horn will
sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash
anytime the alarm sounds.
If you would like to change the way the headlamps,
parking lamps and horn operate with the content
theft
-deterrent system, see “Vehicle Customization” in
the Index. If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver
Information Center (DIC), see “Driver Information
Center” in the Index.
When the content theft
-deterrent system is armed,
the liftgate/tailgate may be opened by using one of the
following methods:
D
From the outside, insert the key into the lock and
turn it clockwise, or
D
press REAR on the optional remote keyless entry
transmitter.
When the content theft
-deterrent system is armed,
pressing the liftgate release button, located on the
instrument panel switchbank, will cause the alarm
to sound.
