When equipped with the optional
security package, the alarm can
also be triggered by a change in
vehicle position, such as if the
vehicle is lifted, or by an interruption
of the vehicle's power supply. The
power sounder has an internal
battery. If the vehicle loses battery
power when the theft-deterrent
system is armed, the power sounder
will activate automatically.
Arming the System
1. Close all doors, the trunk, and
the hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the
transmitter or the power door
lock switch. The indicator light
on the instrument panel should
come on and stay on for about
30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, or after
Q
is
pressed again, the alarm system
will arm, and the indicator light
will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating.
If a door, the hood, or trunk is
opened without first unlocking with
the transmitter, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound for
about 30 seconds. The alarm
system will then re-arm to monitor
for the next unauthorized event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not activate if the doors are locked
with the key.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either unlock
the doors using the transmitter,
or start the vehicle with a
recognized transmitter in the
vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
. Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking the driver
door with the key will not disarm
the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
K
on
the transmitter, or start the vehicle
with a recognized transmitter in the
vehicle. The alarm will not stop if
you unlock the driver door with
the key.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
If
K
is pressed and the horn chirps
three times, the alarm was activated
while the system was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
