If a locked door is not opened using the RKE
transmitter, or by OnStar
®
, the pre-alarm will go off.
If the engine is not started or unlock not pressed within
10 seconds, the front turn signal lamps will flash for
two minutes, and the horn will sound for two minutes,
then will turn off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate if
you lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock,
or power door lock switch. The system can only be
activated using the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar
®
. See
the OnStar Owner's Guide for additional information.
You should also remember that you can start your
vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.
Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.
If you do not want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off the
alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, you can turn off the
alarm by pressing unlock on the RKE transmitter. The
alarm will not stop if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate the system by
locking the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and
open the door. This should set off the alarm.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter or start the engine.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the lights
flash, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may
be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 6‑112.
If the alarm does not sound or the front turn signal
lamps do not flash, see your dealer/retailer for service.
