Theft-Deterrent System

SECURITY

With this system, the
SECURITY light will flash
as you open the door
if your ignition is off. This
light reminds you to
arm the theft-deterent
system.

Arming the System

Use one of the two following items listed here to arm
the system:

Press the lock button on the remote keyless entry
Open the door. The SECURITY light should flash.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch.
The SECURITY light will stop flashing and stay on.
Close the door. The security light should go off.
Now, if a door or the hatch trunk lid is opened without
the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
alarm will go off. Your horn will sound for two minutes,
then it will go off to save battery power. And, your
vehicle won’t start.

The theft-deterrent system won’t arm if you lock the
driver’s door with a key, the manual door lock, or if you
use the power door lock after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won’t arm,
and your passenger won’t set it off.

Get in the car and close the door, then lock it with your fob only. Try opening the door and see if the alarm sounds.
