18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
The system monitors the doors, trunk/liftgate, hood, and
ignition for unauthorized operation.
Once the system has been armed, opening any door,
trunk/liftgate (with the ignition key), hood or turning the
ignition key to any position will trigger an alarm.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for
about 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will
sound and the park, tail and fog lights will flash. If the
condition which triggered the alarm is still present, the
park, tail and fog lights will continue to flash for 15
minutes, unless the trigger condition is cleared sooner.
NOTE:The engine will not start until the system is
disarmed.
To Arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm System
There are two methods to arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm
system:
1. Press the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry.
The optical and audible horn chirp will sound if it is
enabled. (See Remote Keyless Entry section of this
manual)
2. Remove the keys from the ignition and, with the door
open, press the Lock button on the door trim panel and
close the door.
