Buick 2006 Rendezvous, Owner'S Manual

Page: 110 / 478

Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the
ignition on without using the correct key. The horn
will sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will
flash any time the alarm sounds.
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the
liftgate may be opened by pressing the REAR button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm will
go into standby mode. Once the liftgate is closed, the
alarm will be armed. See “Liftgate Release” under
Liftgate on page 2-11 for more information on how to
open the liftgate.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The content theft-deterrent alarm system will arm
when you use either power door lock switch to lock
the doors while any door or the liftgate is open and the
key is removed from the ignition. The security light,
located on top of the instrument panel, will start flashing
when the system is armed.
Within five seconds, after the security light begins to
flash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened,
without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually
will remain unlocked until locked again.
Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you press LOCK
once on your remote keyless entry transmitter to lock
the doors. The alarm system light will come on for
30 seconds and then start flashing to let you know
the system is armed.
Within the 30 second delay after the security light
comes on, and an additional five seconds after the light
begins to flash, any door can be manually unlocked
and opened, without sounding the alarm.
If LOCK is pressed on your remote keyless entry
transmitter twice within five seconds, any door can be
manually unlocked and opened within five seconds after
the security light begins to flash, without sounding the
alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked
until locked again.
