Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features, however, they
do not make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
This vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light flashes
if a door is open and
locked with the power
door lock switch.
If this light stays on while the engine is running, the
vehicle needs service.
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 4‑71.
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.
