The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and a
combination of headlights,
parking lights, side marker lights and
taillights flashes if someone
attempts to break into your vehicle or
remove the audio unit. This alarm
continues for two minutes, then the
system resets. To deactivate the
system before the two minutes have
elapsed, unlock the driver’s door
with the key or use the remote
transmitter/keyless access remote.
You can also deactivate the system
by grabbing either f ront door handle
while carrying the keyless access
remote to unlock the door.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors f rom the outside with the key,or use driver’s lock tab, master door

(keyless access remote on models
with keyless access system). The

instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself .Once the security system sets,
opening any door, the trunk, or hood
without using the key or the remote
transmitter/keyless access remote,
will cause the alarm to activate. It
