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 Vehicle
Personalization on page 555.
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 1051.
If the horn works, but the alarm
does not go off, see your dealer.
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.
