Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
This is the security light.
To activate the theft-deterrent system, do the
following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. The security light should
come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.
The content theft deterrent system does not
sense if the midgate is open or ajar, therefore,
vehicle contents may not be protected if the
midgate is left open or ajar.
If a locked door is opened without using the RKE
transmitter, a ten second pre-alarm will occur.
The horn will chirp and the lights will flash. If the
door is not unlocked by pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter during the ten second
pre-alarm, the alarm will go off. The headlamps
and parking lamps will flash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will
turn off to save the battery power. You can choose
different feedback options for the alarm. See
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 243 Driver
Information Center (DIC).
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key, the
manual door lock, or the power door lock switch.
It activates only if you use the RKE transmitter.
You should also remember that you can start your
vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm
has been set off.
