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
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system
by pressing the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter lock button or the power door lock
switch while the driver’s door is open.The system will arm thirty seconds after all the
doors are closed, or sixty seconds with any
door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed, the
system will arm immediately. The system will still
arm in sixty seconds if a door is open. When the
open door is closed, the system will arm.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, 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.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may
lock the car with the lock levers on the doors.
Disarming the System
Press the RKE transmitter unlock button, or turn
the ignition to ON to disarm the system.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop ashing.

How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by:
Opening the driver’s door or trunk. This
will 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.
Opening the hood. If the vehicle has the
remote start feature, it will activate the
full alarm.
When an alarm event has nished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the
following:
Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter.
The system will then re-arm itself.
Press the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter. This will also disarm the system.
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This
will also disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when the unlock or lock
button is pressed on the RKE transmitter, it means
that the content theft security system alarm was
previously triggered.

It is possible for the PASS-Key®III+ decoder
to “learn” the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may
be programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.

do not operate, you must see your dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key

panel warning lights. Use the ON position for
push-starting a vehicle with a manual transaxle.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC or ON position with the engine off. You
may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery
is allowed to drain for an extended period of time.

and sunroof, to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned OFF.
The power windows, heated seats and sunroof will
work until any door is opened.
The radio will continue to work until the driver’s
