PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Your perimeter alarm system may include an interior motion detection
system (intrusion sensing). The interior motion detection system detects
an unauthorized vehicle entry by sensing movement within the vehicle.
The interior motion detection system will operate only when the
vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (keypad or
remote transmitters). If you lock the vehicle using the key in the
driver’s door key cylinder, the perimeter alarm will arm, but the
interior motion detection system will not arm.
Do not arm the interior motion detection system if movement within the
vehicle is likely to occur (i.e. a pet is left inside the vehicle).
For proper operation of the interior motion detection system, close all
windows and moonroof prior to arming the system. This will prevent
accidental alarm activation caused by external influences and ensure
proper interior motion detection.
Arming the system
When armed, the perimeter alarm will notify you of an unauthorized
entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the park
lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the remote transmitter lock control one time to arm the system.
•Lock all doors using the keypad.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then closed.
•Lock all doors with the key in the key lock cylinder (this willnotarm
the interior motion detection system, if equipped).
The park lamps will flash once and the horn will chirp once if all the
closures are closed.
If any closure is not properly closed, the park lamps will not flash and
the horn will chirp twice.
The system will wait 20 seconds after one of the actions is performed
before allowing an alarm to go off. After the 20–second pre-arm phase,
