If the vehicle does not have a content theft-deterrent
system, the next screens with PROGRAMMING
FINISHED and DISPLAY OFF will appear.
If the vehicle does have a content theft-deterrent
system, the next screen will appear.
THEFT DETERRENT: The vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent system. Once it is turned on, the
system will activate if someone tries to enter the vehicle
without using the RKE transmitter or the correct key.
This screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or ON.
If OFF is selected, the content theft-deterrent system
will not function.
If ON is selected, the content theft-deterrent system
will be activated.
To program this mode:
1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to
the next screen.
KEY CYLINDER DISARM: If the vehicle has a content
theft-deterrent system, and ON was selected on the
THEFT DETERRENT screen, this screen allows
this feature to be turned OFF or ON. This feature
determines whether the driver’s door key cylinder may
be used to disarm the content theft-deterrent system.
If OFF is selected, the vehicle’s content theft-deterrent
system can not be disarmed by unlocking the driver’s
door using the driver’s door key cylinder. Selecting OFF
prevents a thief from disarming the vehicle’s content
theft-deterrent system by attacking the driver’s door key
cylinder, and may make the vehicle more secure.
However, if OFF is selected, unlocking an armed vehicle
by using the driver’s door key cylinder and opening
the door will cause the content theft alarm to activate.
For this reason, it is recommended that the vehicle
be unlocked using the remote keyless entry system
when this feature is set to OFF.
If ON is selected, the vehicle’s content theft-deterrent
system can be disarmed by unlocking the driver’s
door using the driver’s door key cylinder.
To program this mode:
1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to
the next screen.
