GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The Vehicle Security system is a complemen
-
tary security system developed to hinder the
occurrence of vehicle theft and prevent
vandalism. It does not prevent the theft of
your vehicle; the system is a deterrent.
The Vehicle Security system does not monitor
glass breakage or the movement of objects
or people inside the vehicle. The alarm does
not intervene in the case of vehicle tilt varia
-
tions when it is parked.

The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the passive entry door handle to unlock
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.

the interior power door lock switches will not

The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case
of long inactivity of the vehicle), lock the doors
by turning the emergency key in the exterior
door lock cylinder.
NOTE:
If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the
event of a failure to the system, place the ignition
in the ON/RUN position to turn the alarm off.
