2023 Chrysler 300 Owners Manual - Deluxe Vehicle Security System — If Equipped

Deluxe Vehicle Security System — If Equipped

The Deluxe Vehicle Security system monitors the doors, hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry transport, etc.).

If a perimeter violation triggers the security system, the horn will sound for 29 seconds and the exterior lights will flash followed by approximately five seconds of no activity. This will continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to disarm the system.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to arm the security system:

1. If any doors, windows, or the sunroof (if equipped) are open, close them.

2. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF.

3. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:

   • Push lock on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.

   • Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry door handle with a key fob available in the same exterior zone "⇨Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry".

   • Push the lock button on the key fob.

Note:

• When armed, the interior motion sensor detects movement within the vehicle's interior, including moving objects (i.e. people and pets) and air currents through open windows or the sunroof. The windows and sunroof should be closed, and moving objects should not be left in the vehicle when the intrusion detection is armed, otherwise false alarms can occur.

• Once the security system is armed, it remains in that state until you disarm it by following either of the disarming procedures described. If a power loss occurs after arming the system, you must disarm the system after restoring power to prevent alarm activation.

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector) actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm the Vehicle Security system. If you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic intrusion sensor when arming the Vehicle Security system. To do so, push the lock button on the key fob three times within 15 seconds of arming the system (while the Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly). The vehicle will remain locked but will disable the alarm in the case of repeated false alarms due to ambient conditions.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of the following methods:

• Push the unlock button on the key fob.

• Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door "⇨Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry".

• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pushing the START/STOP ignition button (requires at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

Note:

• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security system.

• The Vehicle Security system remains armed during power trunk entry. If a valid key fob or Passive Entry is used to open the trunk, the motion sensing will be suppressed until after the trunk is closed. If someone enters the opened vehicle through the trunk, then opens any door, the alarm will sound.

• When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector) actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm the Vehicle Security system. If you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic intrusion sensor when arming the Vehicle Security system. To do so, push the lock button on the key fob three times within 15 seconds of arming the system (while the Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly). The vehicle will remain locked but will disable the alarm in the case of repeated false alarms due to ambient conditions.

The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.

If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.

SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE

The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock.
