GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the Vehicle
Security Light (located in the lower right portion of the
instrument cluster display) will begin to flash every two
seconds until it is disarmed.
NOTE:
If the system is armed by pushing the lock button on the
interior door panel, the Vehicle Security Light will flash
rapidly for about 15 seconds once the door is closed, then
slow down to every two seconds.

The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the
system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key cylinder
when the alarm is armed will sound the alarm when the
door is opened.
The Vehicle Security system remains armed when the
power liftgate is opened using the liftgate button on the
key fob. If someone enters the vehicle through the
opened liftgate, then opens any door from the inside,
the alarm will sound.
If Passive Entry (if equipped) is used to unlock the
liftgate, the Vehicle Security system is disarmed and
the rest of the vehicle doors will remain locked unless
all doors are set to unlock on first press within
Uconnect Settings.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system 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 system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.

If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the horn off
after a 29 second cycle (with five seconds between cycles
and up to eight cycles if the trigger remains active) and
then rearm itself.

The front doors can be manually unlocked with a single
pull of the inside door handle. The driver’s door can also
be manually unlocked by inserting the emergency key into
the lock cylinder on the outside door handle.
NOTE:
When using the emergency key to unlock the outside door
handle, make sure the handle of the emergency key is
pointing toward the rear of the vehicle. This will ensure the
handle can be pulled all the way out while the key is in the
lock cylinder.
