Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. If you
are using the remote keyless entry transmitter,
the door does not need to be open.
3. Close all doors.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone
tries to enter the vehicle without using the remote
keyless entry transmitter or a key or turns the
ignition on with an incorrect key. The horn
will sound and the turn signal lamps will flash
for approximately two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be
opened with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The power door lock switches are disabled
and the doors remain locked. You must use your
remote keyless entry transmitter or your key to
unlock the doors when the system is armed.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The alarm system will arm when you use either
power lock switch to lock the doors while any door
or the trunk is open and the key is removed
from the ignition.
Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use your
remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors,
if the key is not in the ignition.
