Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.

instrument panel near the
windshield, indicates the status of
the system:
Off :
Alarm system is disarmed.

during the delay to arm the system.
Fast Flash :
Vehicle is unsecured.
A door, the hood, or the trunk
is open.

armed.
Arming the Alarm System
1. Close the trunk and the hood.

three ways:
.
Use the RKE transmitter.
.

system.
.

inside
Q
.
3. After 30 seconds the alarm
system will arm, and the
indicator light will begin to
slowly flash indicating the
alarm system is operating.
Pressing
Q
on the RKE
transmitter a second time will
bypass the 30-second delay
and immediately arm the alarm
system.
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter, 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 RKE
transmitter during the 10

second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.

opened without first disarming the
system, the turn signals will flash for
about 30 seconds. The alarm
system will then re-arm to monitor
for the next unauthorized event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not arm if the doors are locked with
the key.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn
off the alarm if it has been activated:

K
on the RKE transmitter.
