sound again after a five-second delay for an-
other 30 seconds. If the trigger remains pres-
ent, this cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm will trigger the audible alert for 29 sec-
onds. When this portion of the alarm is set,
movement inside the vehicle will trigger the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock switch, or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the security alarm is arming. After
16 seconds the locks will activate and the
Vehicle Security Light will continue to flash
slowly. This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm system is fully armed.
NOTE:
The intrusion sensor (motion detector) ac-
tively monitors your vehicle every time you
arm the security alarm. If you prefer, you can
turn off the intrusion sensor when arming
the security alarm.
To disable the intrusion sensor, activate the
LOCK request three times using the RKE trans-
mitter during the arming period (lamp flashing
quickly). The intrusion sensor will automatically
be enabled the next time the security alarm is
set.
To Disarm The System
Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter, or insert
the key into the ignition switch and turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
•
Battery disconnects will not disarm the
security alarm system.
•
Using the key in the door lock cylinder
will only unlock the deadbolt locks.
•
To open the doors after the security alarm
is set and the locks are activated, press
the unlock button on the RKE transmitter.
You can also unlock the door lock plunger
and door handle by inserting the ignition
key into lock cylinder on the door and
turning it, but the alarm will sound. In this
case, insert the ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON/RUN posi-
tion.
If the security alarm has been triggered, the
Vehicle Security Light will flash twice every two
seconds.
Vehicle Security Alarm Manual

The security alarm will not arm if you lock the

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) using a hand-held Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE trans-
mitter does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
