Saturn 2009 VUE Hybrid Automobile User Manual


 
To arm the theft-deterrent system,
close all doors and press
Q on the
RKE transmitter. The security light
comes on solid for approximately
30 seconds and then flashes slowly.
If
Q is pressed a second time, the
theft-deterrent system activates
immediately. The content theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light flashes slowly.
If any door or the liftgate are opened
without using the key or pressing
K on the RKE transmitter, the
exterior lamps flash and the horn
sounds for about 30 seconds. If
Q or
K on the RKE transmitter is not
pressed, the alarm sounds and
periodically repeats. If the system
does not operate as described
above, see your dealer/retailer
for service.
The theft-deterrent system also
activates if the doors are locked
with the key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident, always unlock a door
with the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way
sets off the alarm if the system
has been armed.
If the alarm is set off by accident,
press
Q or K on the RKE
transmitter or place the key in
the ignition and turn it to START
to turn it off.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower
the driver’s window and open
the driver door.
2. Get out of the vehicle, close the
door and activate the system by
pressing
Q on the RKE
transmitter.
3. Wait for the security light to
flash slowly.
4. Reach in through the window to
unlock the door with the manual
door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, but the vehicle’s headlamps
flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-75.
If the alarm does not sound or
the vehicle’s headlamps do
not flash, see your dealer/retailer
for service.
