VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle
Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get outof the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and close all doors. 3. The horn will sound and the Vehicle Security Light in
the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approxi-
mately 16 seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN, or
the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
After approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle Security
Light will flash slowly. This shows that the Vehicle
Security Alarm is fully armed.
The activation of the Vehicle Security Alarm is followed
by a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the
self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.
If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors,
hood and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the
system.

If the Vehicle Security Alarm sounds the horn a second
time even when all doors, hood and liftgate are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in the operation of the
system. Contact your authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter, or insert the key
into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:The Vehicle Security Alarm will not disarm when
the metal insert of the key is used on a single door lock
cylinder.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you
remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE
transmitter, once the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
(after 16 seconds), when you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, press the UNLOCK
button on the RKE transmitter to disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) —
If Equipped
This safety device prevents the operation of the interior
door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.
It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock device
each time you park your car.
