Chrysler 2014 200 Convertible - User Guide - Manual (Page 12)

THEFT ALARM
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the LOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or closed), and
close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock plungers.
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This shows that
the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition is
cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• During the 16-second arming period, if a door is opened or the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim
panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/START position.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm 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 Alarm.
• If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
