Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of

tries to enter the vehicle without using the RKE
transmitter or a key or turns the ignition on with an
incorrect key. The horn will sound and the turn
signal lamps will ash for about two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be opened
with the RKE transmitter. The power door lock
switches are disabled and the doors remain locked.
