Vehicle Security System — If Equipped
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security system is armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate release are disabled. If something triggers the system, the Vehicle Security system will provide the following audible and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash
Note:
The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to standards from different countries.
The Vehicle Security system is a complementary security system developed to hinder the occurrence of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a deterrent.
The Vehicle Security system does not monitor glass breakage or the movement of objects or people inside the vehicle. The alarm does not intervene in the case of vehicle tilt variations when it is parked.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:
-
Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position.
-
Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
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 .
Push the lock button on the key fob.
-
If any doors are open, close them.
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 .
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the system.
Note:
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security system.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
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.
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of long inactivity of the vehicle), lock the doors by turning the emergency key in the exterior door lock cylinder.
Note:
If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the event of a failure to the system, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position to turn the alarm off.
