Vehicle security alarm — if equipped
This vehicle security alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door locks are disabled. The vehicle security alarm provides both audio and visual signals, the horn will sound, the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals will flash repeatedly for three minutes. If the disturbance is still present (driver’s door, passenger door, other doors, igni- tion) after three minutes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key fob from the ignition and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door lock switch or the key fob lock button and close all doors.
3. The vehicle security light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds. This shows that the vehicle security alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position, or the power door locks are un- locked in any manner, the vehicle security alarm will automatically disarm. After approximately 16 seconds,
the vehicle security light will flash slowly. This shows that the vehicle security alarm is fully armed.
Rearming The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn off the horn after three minutes, turn off all of the visual signals after 15 minutes, and then the vehicle security alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The System
Push unlock on the key fob, or insert the key into the ignition and place the ignition in the ON/RUN position. If something has triggered the vehicle security alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times, and exterior lights blink three times when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering. 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 key fob, once the vehicle security alarm is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, push the unlock button on the key fob to disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Vehicle Security Alarm Manual Override
