VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Ve- hicle Security Alarm is activated it will provide both audible and visible signals. The horn will sound repeat- edly for the three minutes and the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals and Vehicle Security Light will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
To Arm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm will set when you use the power door locks, or use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to lock the doors. After all the doors are locked and closed, the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds to signal that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. After the Vehicle Security Alarm is set, the Vehicle Security Light will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed.
NOTE: If the Vehicle Security Light stays on continu- ously during vehicle operation, have the Vehicle Security Alarm checked by an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Use the RKE transmitter to unlock the door. If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if the vehicle Sentry Key in inserted into the ignition and turned to ON/RUN. To exit alarming mode, press the RKE trans- mitter UNLOCK button or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry Key. The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE transmitter, the alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.
NOTE: You may accidentally activate the Vehicle Secu- rity Alarm (horn sounds and lights flash) by entering the vehicle without using the RKE transmitter to unlock the door(s). The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed with the RKE transmitter unlock button or by inserting a programmed Sentry Key into the ignition and turning the key to the ON/RUN position.
