Features of your vehicle
• Do not arm the system until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
system is armed while a passen-
ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leave the
vehicle. If any door, trunk lid or
engine hood is opened within 30
seconds after entering the armed
stage, the system is disarmed to
prevent unnecessary alarm.
Theft-alarm stage
The alarm will be activated if any of the
following occurs while the system is
armed.
• A door is opened without using the
transmitter (or smart key).
• The trunk is opened without using the
transmitter (or smart key).
• The engine hood is opened.
The horn will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously for
approximately 30 seconds. To turn off the
system, unlock the doors with the trans-
mitter (or smart key).
Opening the trunk with the alarm
armed (if equipped)
When the alarm is armed, the alarm will
not sound if the trunk lid is opened with
the transmitter (or smart key).
Once the trunk is opened and then
closed, the trunk will lock automatically
and the system will be armed again.
Also, if any of the doors or hood is
opened while the trunk lid is opened and
the alarm armed, the alarm will sound.
