Deterrent alarm system.
With this system, the
SECURITY message will
flash as you open the door
(if your ignition is off).
This message reminds you to activate the theft

deterrent
system. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
message should come on and stay on. If using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, the door does not
need to be open.

off after approximately 15 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY message goes off.
