will automatically disarm. After 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows that the
system is fully armed.
NOTE:
During the 16 second arming period, if a door is
opened or the ignition switch is turned ON, the system
will automatically disarm.
Once armed, the system disables the unlock switch on
the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim
panel, the trunk release button on the instrument
panel, and the HomeLink/Garage Door Opener (if
equipped).
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Either press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter or insert a valid sentry key into the
ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the ON/START
position.
NOTE:
The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on
the keyless entry transmitter cannot arm or disarm the
system.
The system remains armed during trunk entry. Press-
ing the trunk button will not disarm the system. If
someone enters the vehicle through the trunk and
opens any door, the alarm will sound.
When the system is armed, the interior power door
lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm system is designed to protect
your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the
system will arm regardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
system.
