VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the head-
lights, park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn
off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off
after 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press
a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger
door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is
closed, or if both doors and the trunk are closed, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm itself in about 16 sec-
onds. During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm
is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the
arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the
arming process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security
Alarm after closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that
the vehicle ignition is
ЉOFFЉ (refer to “Starting Proce-
dures” in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion). Then either press the power door LOCK switch
while the driver or passenger door is open, or press the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter LOCK button.
