Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features, however,
they do not make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
The security light is
located near the center of
the instrument panel.
To arm the theft-deterrent system, close all doors and
press the lock button on the RKE transmitter. The
security light will come on solid for approximately30 seconds and then ashes slowly. If the lock button
on the RKE transmitter is pressed a second time,
the theft-deterrent system will activate immediately,
bypassing the 30 second delay. The content theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until the security light
ashes slowly.
If any door or the liftgate are opened without using the
key or pressing the unlock button on the RKE transmitter,
the exterior lamps ash and the horn will sound for about
30 seconds. If the lock or unlock button on the RKE
transmitter is not pressed, the alarm sounds and
periodically repeats. If the system does not operate as
described above, see your dealer/retailer for service.
The theft-deterrent system also activates if you lock the
doors with a key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident, always
unlock a door with the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off the alarm
if the system has been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the alarm by
pressing lock or unlock on the RKE transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and turning it to START. United States shown,

Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
2. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and activate
the system by locking the doors with the RKE
transmitter.
3. Wait for the security light to ash slowly.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the
vehicle’s headlamps ash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the
fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-90.
If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s headlamps
do not ash, see your dealer/retailer for service.
