Arming and Disarming the Content
Theft-Deterrent System (If Equipped)

To arm and disarm the content theft

deterrent system,

the system must be turned on by using Mode 2 listed
previously in this section under “Content
Theft

Deterrent System.”

With the arming and disarming feature, you can do
the following:
D Arm the system when you lock the doors using either

power door lock switch while any door is open and
the key is removed form the ignition.

D Arm the system when you lock the doors with your

remote keyless entry transmitter and the key is
removed form the ignition.

D Disarm the system when you unlock the doors with

your key or remote keyless entry transmitter.

Programmable Modes

Mode 1: Power Door Lock Switch Arming Off
D The content theft

deterrent system will arm when

you lock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The key must be removed from the
ignition when you lock the doors or the content
theft

deterrent system will not arm.

D The content theft

deterrent system will disarm when

you unlock the doors with the keys or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.

Mode 2: Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter
Arm/Disarm Only
D The content theft

deterrent system will arm when

you lock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The key must be removed from the
ignition when you lock the doors or the content
theft

deterrent system will not arm.

D The content theft

deterrent system will disarm

when you unlock the doors with the remote keyless
entry transmitter.

While this mode provides increased security, it can be
a problem if the remote keyless entry transmitter is
damaged, lost or if it fails to operate for any reason
while the content theft

deterrent system is armed.

The content theft

deterrent system must be disarmed

for the engine to run and while in Mode 2, the key can
no longer disarm the system.

If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar

system,

OnStar will not be able to remotely unlock your vehicle
if it has been programmed to Mode 2.
