GENERAL INFORMATION
Transmitter and receivers operate on a carrier fre-
quency of 434 MHz as required by EEC regulations.
These devices must be certified to conform to specific
regulations in each individual country. Two sets of
regulations are involved: ETS (European Telecommuni-
cation Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125, which is
based on ETC 300–220 but has additional unique re-
quirements. Other defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired operation.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal
distance, check for these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the transmitter. The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile
or CB radios. VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors the
vehicle doors, hood, and liftgate for unauthorized en-
try and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will prevent
the vehicle from starting, sound the horn intermit-
tently, flash the headlights and taillights, and flash the
Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken
to disarm it, the system will turn off the horn after
approximately 29 seconds, turn off all of the visual
signals after one minute, and then the system will
rearm itself.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system (refer to
"Starting Procedures" in "Starting And Driving" for
further information).
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF" and the
key is physically removed from the ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Security system monitors the doors,
hood latch, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.
In the event that something triggers the security sys-
tem, the siren will sound for 29 seconds and the
headlights will turn on and the turn signal and side
repeater lights will flash for an additional 34 seconds.
The system will repeat this sequence for up to 8
security violations in any mode (door ajar, motion,
hood ajar, etc.) before having to rearm the system. At
the end of any particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system (refer to"Starting Procedures" in "Starting And Operating"
for further information).
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF". • For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF" and the
key is physically removed from the ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the
vehicle:
• Press LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Press the LOCK button on the exterior Passive Entry
Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go" in
"Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for
further information).
• Press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone (if
equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further
information).
