Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors after the key
is removed from the ignition. The security light will turn
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.

Lighting Choices” in the Index), the headlamps will
flash briefly to let you know when the alarm system
has armed.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless

The alarm system will disarm when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors. The
security light will stop flashing to let you know the
system is disarmed.

Nuisance Alarms

caused by the opening of a door and are not desired),
you may need to reduce the damage detection
sensitivity. Try programming the Content

Choices” in the Index).
If you are still having trouble with nuisance alarms, you
can turn off the Content Theft
