VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation.While the Vehicle
Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled.

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.

gardless 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.
