VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED

liftgate, and ignition for unauthorized operation. When
the alarm is activated, the Vehicle Security Alarm pro-
vides both audible and visual signals. The horn will
sound repeatedly for three minutes and the headlights
and Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash for an additional 15 minutes. The engine will not
run until the Vehicle Security Alarm is disarmed.
To Set the Alarm

transmitter to lock the doors. After all the doors are
closed and locked, the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly to signal that the

Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. The Vehicle 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 Vehicle Security Light will flash
at a slower rate to indicate that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed.
NOTE:If the Vehicle Security Light stays on continu-
ously during vehicle operation, have the Vehicle Security
Alarm checked by your authorized dealer.
To Disarm the System
Use the RKE transmitter to unlock the doors. If some-
thing has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in your
absence, the horn will sound three times when you
unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if the vehicle
is started with a programmed Sentry Key. If an unpro-
grammed Sentry Keyis used to start a vehicle, the
engine will start and run for two seconds and then shutdown. After six unsuccessful attempts at starting the
engine, the Vehicle Security Alarm will shut down until
the correct key is used. To exit alarming mode, press the
RKE transmitter UNLOCK button or start the vehicle
with a programmed Sentry Key.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you
remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the
transmitter, the alarm will sound when you pull the door
handle to exit.
NOTE:You may accidentally activate the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm (horn sounds and lights flash) by entering the
vehicle without using the RKE transmitter to unlock the
door(s). The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed with
the RKE transmitters unlock button or by inserting a
programmed Sentry Keyinto the ignition and turning
the key to the ON position.
