once to unlock the driver's door, or twice (within 5
seconds) to unlock all doors and liftgate. The illuminated
entry system will also come on.

following:
²unlock all the doors on the first button press
²flash the turn signals with unlock
²On vehicles equipped with an overhead console these
functions can be selected at the overhead console

4. Reset the transmitter by pressing the ªUnlockº button
six times. Test the transmitter operation.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, liftgate
flipper glass, and ignition for unauthorized operation.
When the alarm is activated, the system provides both
audible and visual signals. The horn will sound repeat-
edly for three minutes and the headlights and taillights
will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate or when you use
the power door lock switch while the door is open. After
all the doors are locked and closed, a red light on top of
the instrument panel will flash rapidly for about 16
seconds to signal that the system is arming. During this
16 second pre-arm period, opening any door or theliftgate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully
arms, the red light will flash at a slower rate to indicate
the alarm is set.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the key to unlock the driver's door. If
something has triggered the system in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
Check the vehicle for tampering.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, once the
system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the ªUnlockº button on the remote keyless entry
