If equipped
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, license
plate lights, and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the audio unit.
This alarm continues for two
minutes, then the system resets. To
deactivate the system before the two
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
Once the security system sets,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the In-Bed Trunk, will cause
the alarm to activate. It also activates
if the radio and navigation
components are removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the In-Bed Trunk.
For the system to activate, you must
lock the doors from the outside with
the key, or use driver’s lock tab, door
lock switch, or remote transmitter.
The security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
