VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the vehicle security alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle security alarm will provide the following audible and visible signals:
The vehicle security light in the instrument cluster will flash.
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
Push the lock button 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 valid key fob available in the same exterior zone (refer to "Doors" in "Getting To Know Your Vehicle" for further information).
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of the following methods:
Grasp the passive entry door handle to unlock the door, refer to "Doors" in "Getting To Know Your Vehicle" for further information.
Cycle the ignition out of the off mode to disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver’s door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed during power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will not disarm the vehicle security alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through the liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
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 previously 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.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm 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 alarm.
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn the horn off after 29 seconds, five seconds between cycles, up to eight cycles if the trigger remains active and the vehicle security alarm will rearm itself.
The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
If something has triggered the vehicle security alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times and the exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the vehicle security alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.
