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

With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter lock
button.
The system will arm after either of these things
occur:
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
Sixty seconds with any door open.

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.

lock the car with the manual lock knobs on
the doors.

You can disarm the system by doing any one of
the following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter

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.

following:
Press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The system will then
