— (On): Press this side of the button to turn the lockout
feature on. When the lockout feature is turned on,
the trunk cannot be unlocked with the keyless entry
transmitter or the trunk release button located near
the headlamp switch on the instrument panel.
If the valet lockout feature is on it will also disable the
Universal Home Remote transmitter, if equipped.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help to
secure your vehicle.
See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 2-5 and Trunk on page 2-12 for additional

Content Theft-Deterrent
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the security
light will flash, reminding you to arm the system.
To arm the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The security light should come on
and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The security light should go off
within approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a RKE
transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps will
flash for about 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or use the manual door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock with
the door open or the RKE transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
•
Lock the vehicle with the door key or the manual
door lock after the doors are closed.
•
Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
transmitter system. Pressing the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
