Arming the System
While the ignition is off, press the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter lock button, to arm the system.
The system will arm after either of these things occur:
• Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
• Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system arms in 60 seconds if a
door is open, or after the open door is closed.
If you do not want to arm the system, lock the car with
the manual door lock knobs.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system:
• Press the unlock button on the RKE transmitter.
• Turn the ignition on.
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 you to exit the
vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter, or open the
trunk using the transmitter without having to disarm
and re-arm the system.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will stop
flashing.
How the System Alarm is Activated
To activate the system if it is armed:
• Open the driver’s door or trunk. This causes a
ten second pre-alarm chirping noise followed by the
horn sounding and lights flashing for 30 seconds.
• Open a passenger’s door. This immediately causes
a full alarm of the horn sounding and lights flashing
for 30 seconds.
After the 30 second alarm ends, the system will re-arm
itself.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the following:
• Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter.
The system will then re-arm itself.
• Press the unlock button on the RKE transmitter.
This will also disarm the system.
• Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This will
also disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when you press the unlock,
lock, or trunk release buttons on the RKE transmitter,
it means that the content theft security system alarm
was activated previously.
