SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This Security Alarm System monitors the doors, hood,
liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the Security Alarm, the Security
Alarm System will sound the horn for 30 seconds and
flash the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device is
not deactivated, the horn will sound again after a five
second delay for another 30 seconds. If the trigger
remains present, this cycle will repeat for up to five
minutes.
To Set The Security Alarm
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out
of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door LOCK
switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and close all doors.
3. The Security Alarm indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This shows that
the system is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition switch is turned ON, or the power
door locks are unlocked in any manner, the Security
Alarm will automatically disarm. After 16 seconds, the
Security Alarm indicator light will flash slowly. This
shows that the Security Alarm System is fully armed.
