(If Equipped)
The vehicle may have a theft

deterrent alarm system.
A red light located on top of the instrument panel (near
the center of the vehicle, in front of the windshield) will
flash slowly when the system is armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. The alarm will sound if someone
damages the vehicle, tampers with the trunk lock, enters
the vehicle (without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or key to unlock the doors), or turns the
ignition on. The horn will sound and the headlamps will
flash for up to two minutes. The system will also cut off
the fuel supply, preventing the vehicle from being driven.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system can be programmed to arm when you
use either power lock switch to lock the doors while any
door is open and the key is removed from the ignition. If
you would like to arm the system with the power lock
switch, see “Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting
Choices” in the Index. The SECURITY light flashes
quickly to let you know when the system is ready to arm
with the power door lock switches. When you press the
rear of the power lock switch, the SECURITY light will
stop flashing and stay on to let you know the system is
arming. After all doors are closed and locked, the
SECURITY light will begin flashing at a very slow rate to
let you know the system is armed.
