Content Theft Security System
(If Equipped)
Arming the System
With the ignition off, pressing the transmitter LOCK
button will arm the system immediately after all doors
and trunk are closed. If the transmitter LOCK button is
pressed again within five seconds, the horn will chirp to
confirm that the system has been armed.
Once the system is armed, the THEFT SYSTEM light
on your instrument panel will flash and remain flashing.
This confirms the system is armed and monitoring the
doors and trunk. If the light is on solid, the system is
not properly activated due to either a door or the trunk
being ajar.
If you don’t want to arm the system, lock the car with
the lock levers on the doors or with the door lock switch.
Disarming the System
If the system is armed, pressing the UNLOCK button
on the transmitter will disarm the system. The THEFT
SYSTEM light will stop flashing.
If the system is armed, turning the key to START will
also disarm the system.
If the system is armed and the trunk is opened using the
trunk release button on the transmitter, the system will
temporarily disarm itself and re
-arm when the trunk
has been closed. This allows the customer to exit the
vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter, and open
the trunk using the transmitter without having to disarm
and subsequently re
-arm the system.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, opening any door or the trunk,
or using a wrong key to start the vehicle will cause a
pre-alarm chirp for 10 seconds and then a full alarm
of horn and headlights for two minutes.
If an alarm event has finished and all doors and the
trunk are closed, the content theft security system
will re
-arm itself.
