Security indicator light (Vehicle se-
curity system)

The light operates whenever the ignition

tion.
The vehicle security system has four
phases. For each phase the operation of the
security indicator light is different.

system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors.
Lock all doors. The doors can be locked
with the key or with the keyfob.

cPush the LOCK button on the keyfob.
All doors lock. The hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once to
indicate all doors are locked.
cWhen the LOCK button is pushed with

flash twice and the horn beeps once
as a reminder that the doors are al-
ready locked.

matically shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once ev-
ery three seconds. If, during the 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the
ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the
system will not arm.
cIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not arm.
Furthermore, if the key is turned ex-
cessively to the unlock position, the
system may be disarmed when the key
is removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.

tions are on the back of the keyfob.
