Features of your vehicle
This system is designed to provide pro-
tection from unauthorized entry into the
vehicle. This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "Armed" stage, the
second is the "Theft-alarm" stage, and
the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If trig-
gered, the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.
Armed stage
Park the vehicle and stop the engine.
Arm the system as described below.
1. Remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch or turn off the engine.
2. Make sure that all doors (and tailgate)
and the engine hood are closed and
latched.
3. • Lock the doors by depressing the
door lock button on the transmitter
(or smart key).
After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
once to indicate that the system is
armed.
If any door, tailgate remains open, the
hazard warning lights won’t operate
and theft-alarm will not arm. Close

of the front outside door handles with
the smart key in your possession.
After completion of the steps above,

engine hood is opened within 30
