Keys, Doors, and Windows 2-9Liftgate Operation with Loss of
Power
To open the liftgate if the vehicle's
battery is disconnected or the
voltage is low, access the release
lever. Remove the interior trim cover
on the inside of the liftgate. Use a
tool to push the lever on the latch
until the liftgate releases. Vehicle Security This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
the vehicle impossible to steal.
Vehicle Alarm System The vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is near the center
of the instrument panel.
To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Q on the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood, on vehicles equipped with the remote
start feature only, are closed. The
security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then
flash slowly. If
Q on the RKE
transmitter is pressed a second
time, the theft-deterrent system will
arm immediately, bypassing the
30-second delay. The content-theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light flashes slowly.
If any door, liftgate, or the hood, on
vehicles equipped with the remote
start feature only, are opened
without using the key or pressing
Kon the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps flash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
Q or
K on
the RKE transmitter is not pressed,
the alarm sounds and periodically
repeats. If the system does not
operate as described above, see
your dealer for service.
The theft-deterrent system does not
arm if you lock the doors with a key.
