The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights (low beam), parking
lights, side marker lights, and
taillights flash if someone attempts
to break into your vehicle or remove
the radio. This alarm continues for 2
minutes, then it stops. To reset an
activated system before the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.

The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors from the outside with the key,
driver’s lock tab, door lock master
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.

Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the trunk, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter will cause the
alarm to be activated. It will also be
activated if the audio unit is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.

With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or the remote transmitter without
triggering the alarm. The alarm will

sound if the trunk lock is forced, or
the trunk is opened with the trunk
release handle.

The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, and check the
indicators on the instrument panel.
Close either door or the trunk
indicated on the display. Check the
hood visually since it is not part of
the display, and shut it if necessary.

To see if the system is set

after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, the horn will beep
once.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
