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, interior switches for door locks are disabled. The system provides both au- dible and visible signals, for the first three minutes the horn will sound and the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals will flash and Vehicle Security Light will flash repeatedly. For an additional 15 minutes only, the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals and Vehicle
Security Light will flash. Use of the Sentry Key will disable the alarm.
Rearming Of The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of headlights and Vehicle Security Light flashing, if the system has not been disabled. If the condition which initiated the alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition and monitor the re- maining doors and ignition.
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 panel cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm is being set. After the alarm is set, the Vehicle Security Light will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the system is armed.
NOTE: If the Vehicle Security Light stays on continu- ously during vehicle operation, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Use the RKE transmitter to unlock the door. If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors and the Vehicle Security Light will flash for 30 seconds. Check the vehicle for tampering. The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if the vehicle is started with a programmed Sentry Key . To exit the alarming mode, press the RKE transmitter 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 system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ- ously 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.
