Universal Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system. With
this system, if your ignition is off, the SECURITY light
will flash as you open the door.
United States Canada
This light reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. To activate it do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
remote keyless entry system. The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The security system is not
armed until the SECURITY light is off. If the
SECURITY light stays on or flashes when the
ignition is turned on, there is a problem with the
system and the vehicle should be serviced.
If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute
and then shuts off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem. See your dealer
for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off.
Your vehicle’s lamps will flash and the horn will sound
for 30 seconds, then will go off to save battery power.
Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won’t activate
if you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock.
It only activates if you use the power door lock switch
or remote keyless entry transmitter. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
This also shuts off the alarm.
