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.

A red light located on top

the vehicle and near
the windshield, will ash

Screens inDIC Controls and Displays (Base Level DIC)
on page 3-52orDIC Controls and Displays (Uplevel DIC

trunk or enters the vehicle without using the remote
keyless entry transmitter or key to unlock the doors. The
horn will sound and the headlamps will ash for up to
two minutes. The system will also cut off the fuel supply,
preventing the vehicle from being driven.
