VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors the
vehicle doors, hood, and liftgate for unauthorized en-
try and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.

tently, flash the headlights and taillights, and flash the

enters the vehicle through the liftgate and opens any
door the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not unlock thedoors.

vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, 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.

becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

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

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.
