Keys, Doors, and Windows
27
The vehicle alarm system will not
arm if the doors are locked with the
mechanical key.
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the remote key,
the horn will chirp and the lights will
flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the
vehicle is not started, or the door is
not unlocked by pressing
K
on the
remote key during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
The alarm will also be activated if
the passenger door, the hatch/trunk,
or the hood is opened without first
disarming the system. When the
alarm is activated, the turn signals
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorized event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn
off the alarm if it has been activated,
do one of the following:
.
Press
K
on the remote key.
.
Unlock the vehicle using the
Keyless Access system.
.
Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.
Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and both doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the
remote key or use the Keyless
Access system.
Unlocking the driver door with the
key will not disarm the system or
turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
If
K
is pressed on the remote key
and the horn chirps and the lights
flash three times, a previous alarm
occurred while the system was
armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
Inclination Sensor and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have an inclination
sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can activate
the alarm if it senses movement of
the vehicle, such as a change in
vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can activate the
alarm if it senses unauthorized entry
into the vehicle
’
s interior. Do not
allow passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the intrusion
sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
.
Make sure both doors and
windows are completely closed.
.
Secure any loose items such as
sunshades.
.
Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors.
