VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ENGINE
START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn will
pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System:
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 rocker
button.
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:
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:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
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.
