Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located on top of your instrument panel, near the
center of the vehicle next to the windshield, will ash
slowly to let you know that the system has been armed.While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key, or turns the ignition to ON. The
horn will sound and the parking lamps will ash for up to
two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the liftgate may be opened
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system will arm when you use either power
door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or
the liftgate is open and the key is removed from
the ignition. If you would like to turn on power door lock
switch arming, seeVehicle Personalization on
page 2-62.
When the security light ashes quickly the system is
ready to arm with the power door lock switches.
Then the security light will stop ashing and stay on
when you press the rear of the power door lock switch,
to let you know the system is arming. After all doors
and the liftgate are closed and locked, the security light
will begin ashing at a very slow rate to let you know
the system is armed.
