VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, swing gate, and ignition for unau-
thorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will sound the horn intermittently,
the headlights will turn on, flash the turn signal
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security Light in the
cluster.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, and turn
off all of the visual signals after an additional
31 seconds, then the Vehicle Security Alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
exit the vehicle.
2. Lock the doors and swing gate by pressing
the power door LOCK switch or the LOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors with the manual door lock
plungers or the driver’s door lock cylinder.
3. Close all the doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to
signal that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming.
During this period, opening any door or the
swing gate will cancel the arming process. If the
Vehicle Security Alarm is successfully set, the
Vehicle Security Light will flash at a slower rate
to indicate the alarm is armed.
To Disarm The System
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE
transmitter or insert a valid Sentry Key® into the
ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
•
Unlocking the doors with the manual door
lock plungers or the driver’s door lock
cylinder will not 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 pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will
give you a false alarm. If the previously de-
scribed arming sequence has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are inside or outside the vehicle. If
you remain inside the vehicle and open a door,
the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
