GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 19
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:

Push the unlock button on the key fob.

Grasp the Passive Entry 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
“Doors” in this chapter for further
information).

Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the
OFF position.

For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, push the
START/STOP ignition button (requires at
least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

For vehicles not equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, insert a valid key into the igni-
tion switch and place the ignition in the ON
position.
NOTE:

The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.

When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle; however, you can create condi-
tions 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, the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will
turn the horn off after 3 minutes, turn all of the
visual signals off after 15 additional minutes,
and then the vehicle security alarm will rearm
itself.
Security System Manual Override
The vehicle security alarm will not arm/disarm if
you lock/unlock the doors using the manual
door lock.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the vehicle security
alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three
times and the exterior lights will blink three
times when you disarm the vehicle security
alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.
