Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t be activated
if you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
only activates if you use a power door lock switch or
Remote Lock Control System.
You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set
off, but this
does not shut off the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting
off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked
after the doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Lock Control System. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off
the alarm.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by first having the driver’s
window down. ’Activate the system by locking the doors
with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Lock
Control System. Get out
of the car and close the door and
wait for the SECURITY light to
go out. Then reach in
through the window, 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, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with
your key.
You can also turn off the alarm by using the Remote
Lock Control System. The alarm won’t stop if you try
to
unlock a door any other way.

4. Open the hoods and locate the other vehicle’s battery
and the Aurora’s remote positive
(+) jump starting
terminal in the
box on the passenger side of the
engine compartment. (Your Aurora’s battery isn’t
under the hood.)
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.

each battery or remote terminal. You should always
use the remote positive
(+) terminal instead of the
positive
(+) terminal on your battery.
To open the remote positive (+) terminal box, pull
the tab and open the cover.
