2. Perform one of the following methods to
lock the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior
power door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid
key fob available in the same exterior
zone (refer to "Keyless Enter- N-Go —
Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
The vehicle security alarm will set when you
use the power door locks, or use the key fob to
lock the doors. After all the doors are locked
and closed, the vehicle security light, in the
instrument panel cluster, will flash rapidly for
about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm
is being set. After the alarm is set, the vehicle
security light will flash at a slower rate to
indicate that the system is armed.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
1. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
2. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door
Handle with a valid key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passive entry door handle.
If equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go
— Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information.
3. Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, push the Key-
less Ignition START/STOP button (re-
quires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, insert a valid key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the
ON position.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle
security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
