Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn
off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off
after 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press
a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger
door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is
closed, or if both doors and the trunk are closed, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm itself in about 16 sec-
onds. During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm
is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the
arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel thearming process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security
Alarm after closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that
the vehicle ignition is
OFF(refer to “Starting Proce-
dures” in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion). Then either press the power door LOCK switch
while the driver or passenger door is open, or press the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter LOCK button.
To Disarm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter
or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch.
18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on
the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
•The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during
trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the trunk, and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously-described arming sequences has oc-
curred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter,
press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button (requires at least
one valid Key Fob in the vehicle), or insert a valid Key
Fob into the ignition switch (if the Start/Stop button is
removed) and rotate it to the RUN position.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times when you
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for
tampering.

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the

rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with

sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to mini-
mize the buffeting.
