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

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 f rom the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
