GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors and ignition for unauthorized operation.
When the Vehicle Security system is activated,
interior switches for door locks are disabled. The
system provides both audible and visible signals.
For the first three minutes, the horn will sound, and
the turn signal lights will flash. For an additional
15 minutes, only the turn signal lights will flash.

alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
