this option, it has a
theft deterrent alarm
system. With this
system, tht “SECURITY” light
will flash
as you open
the door (if your
ignition
is off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Opcn the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The “SECURITY” light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm
will go off. It will also go off if a door lock or the trunk lock is
damaged. Your vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn will sound for 3
minutes, then will go off to save battery power. And, your vehicle will not
start.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm
if you lock the doors
with a
key or manual door lock. It arms only if you use a power door lock
switch or Keyless Entry System.
