VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors,
hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for
unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security system
is armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate
release are disabled. If something triggers the system, the
Vehicle Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:

The horn will pulse
 The turn signals will flash

The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash
NOTE:

The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to stan -
dards from different countries.

The Vehicle Security system is a complementary secu -
rity system developed to hinder the occurrence of
vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is
a deterrent.

The Vehicle Security system does not monitor glass
breakage or the movement of objects or people inside
the vehicle. The alarm does not intervene in the case of
vehicle tilt variations when it is parked.
