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
Your vehicle may have a
content theft-deterrent
alarm system. If your
vehicle has Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE), then
it has content
theft-deterrent.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by:
•
Pressing the RKE transmitter lock button.
•
Pressing the power door lock switch while the
driver’s door is open.
The system will arm after either of these things occur:
•
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
•
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm in 60 seconds
if a door is open. When the open door is closed, it will
also become armed.
The security light will turn on to indicate that arming has
been initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will flash once every three seconds.
If the security light is flashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the
car with the manual lock knobs on the doors.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system:
•
Press the RKE transmitter unlock button.
•
Turn the ignition on.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will stop
flashing.
