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

The security light is located near the
center of the instrument panel.To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Qon the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are closed.
The security light will come on solid
for approximately 30 seconds and
then ashes slowly. If
Qon 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, liftgate or the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are opened
without using the key or pressing
K
on the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps ash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
QorKonthe 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
