Security System
Form No. 8R21-EA-02G
The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and liftgate are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
The system won’t function unless it’s
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors and the liftgate,
close all the windows, take your key, your
transmitter, and make sure the security
indicator light is flashing.

Operation
What turns it on:
•Forcing open a door, the hood or the
liftgate.
•Opening a door or the hood by
operating an inside door-lock button or
the hood release handle.
What it does:
•The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash.
•The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door or the
liftgate is unlocked with the key or with
the transmitter.

How to Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Close the hood. Then close all doors
and the liftgate and lock them from the
outside using the key in the door. If you
have the keyless entry system, press the
LOCK button on the transmitter. The
hazard warning lights will flash one
time to indicate that the system is
armed.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood. Press the area on the
door-lock switch marked "DOOR
LOCK" once. Close all doors and the
liftgate.
3. The indicator light flashes once every 3
seconds to indicate that the system is
fully armed. It continues to flash until
the theft-deterrent system is turned off.
Theft-Deterrent System
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system operates
without the keyless entry system
transmitter, as well.
NOTE
Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock button will not arm the
system.
