light in the instrument cluster will flash for an additional
15 minutes. The engine will not run until the system is
disarmed.
To Set the Alarm:
The Security Alarm System will set when you use the
power door locks or use the Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter to lock the doors. After all the doors are
closed and locked, the security light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly to signal that the system isarming. The security light in the instrument panel cluster
will flash rapidly for about 15 seconds to indicate that the
alarm is being set. After the alarm is set, the security light
will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the system is
armed.

vehicle operation, have the system checked by your
authorized dealer.

doors. If something has triggered the system in your
absence, the horn will sound three times when you
