Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
With this system, the
security light will flash
as you open the door
if your ignition is off.
This light reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The security light
should begin to flash.
3. Close all doors. The security light will stop flashing
and stay on solid. The security light should go off
after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until
the security light goes off.
If delayed locking is active, the alarm will not arm
until all doors are closed and the security light goes
off (after about thirty seconds). See “Delayed
Locking” earlier in this section.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the
remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off.
The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two
minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then
will turn off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you lock the door with a power
door lock switch with the door open, or with the 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.
