Arming the System
To arm the system:
• Press Q on the keyless access transmitter.
• Open the door and lock the door with the power
door lock switch. The security light should flash.
Remove the keyless access transmitter from inside
the vehicle and close the door. The security light
stops flashing and stays on. After 30 seconds,
the light should turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
lock the doors and arm the theft-deterrent system
when you exit the vehicle. See DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-73.
If a door or the hatch/trunk is opened without using
the keyless access transmitter, the alarm goes off.
The horn sounds for two minutes, then goes off to
save battery power. The vehicle will not start without
a keyless access transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system does not arm if the driver
door is locked with the power door lock switch after the
doors are closed.
If the keyless access transmitter is removed from the
vehicle while a passenger is in it, have them lock
the doors after they are closed. The alarm will not arm,
so the passenger will not set it off.
Testing the Alarm
To test the system:
1. Make sure the trunk lid/hatch is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually pull
the release lever on the floor.
6. Press the unlock button on the transmitter to turn
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-103. If the horn works, but the
alarm does not go off, see your dealer/retailer.
Disarming the System
Press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter or squeeze the door handle sensor while the
transmitter is near the vehicle to unlock a door. Unlocking
a door any other way sets off the alarm. If the alarm
sounds, press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter to disarm it.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
