doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the

transmitter. The security system
light on the instrument panel starts
blinking immediately to show you

the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause it to
sound. It also sounds if the radio is
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut. The
security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not

check the Door Monitor on the
instrument panel (see page ), to
see if the doors and trunk are f ully

monitor display, manually check the
hood.
