vehicle with the remote keyless entry (if so equipped) or
central unlock (if so equipped). They will remain on for

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM— IF EQUIPPED
The system monitors the doors, trunk key cylinder, and
ignition for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for
up to 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will
sound and the headlights, park and tail lights and the
SET light will flash. The horn will stop and if the source
of the trigger is still present, the lights will continue to
flash for another 15 minutes.
NOTE:The engine will not start until you disarm the
system.
To set the alarm:
1. Remove the keys from the ignition switch and get out
of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the door key, power door
lock switch, or the Keyless Entry Transmitter and close all
doors.

3. The SET light on the top of the instrument panel will
flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This shows that the system
is arming. If the light comes on but does not flash, the
system is still armed, but there is a problem in the trunk
circuit. After 16 seconds the SET light will continue to
flash slowly. This shows that the system is fully armed.
To disarm the system:
Unlock a front door using either the key or the Keyless
Entry Transmitter.
Tamper Alert
If the horn sounds 3 times when you unlock a front door
using either a key or the Keyless Entry Transmitter, the
alarm had been triggered. Check the vehicle for tamper-
ing.
Security System Manual Override
