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
content theft-deterrent
alarm system. If your
vehicle has remote keyless
entry, then it has content
theft-deterrent.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by doing
any one of the following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
lock button.
Press the power door lock switch while the
driver’s door is open.The system will arm after either of these things occur:
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm in 60 seconds
if a door is open. When the open door is closed, it will
also become armed.
The security light will turn on to indicate that arming has
been initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will ash once every three seconds.
If the security light is ashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the
car with the manual lock knobs on the doors.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of
the following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button.
Turn the ignition on.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop ashing.

How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by either:
Opening the driver’s door or tailgate. This will cause
a ten second pre-alarm chirp followed by a thirty
second full alarm of horn and lights.
Opening any other door. This will immediately
cause a full alarm of horn and lights for thirty
seconds.
When an alarm event has nished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the following:
Press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The system will then re-arm itself.
Press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. This will also disarm the system.
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This will
also disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when you press the unlock or
lock buttons on the remote keyless transmitter, it means
that the content theft security system alarm was
previously activated.
