VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors the
vehicle doors, hood, and liftgate for unauthorized en-
try and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will sound
the horn intermittently, flash the headlights and tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off the
horn after 29 seconds, turn off all of the visual signals
after one minute, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm
will rearm itself.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security Alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".(refer to "Starting Procedures" in "Starting And
Driving" for further information).
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Press LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open. • Press the LOCK button on the exterior Passive
Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in
the same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-
Go™" in "Knowing Your Vehicle" for further infor-
mation).
• Press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone
(refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Knowing Your
Vehicle" for further information).

Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector)actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm
the security system. If you prefer, you can turn OFF
the ultrasonic intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor
when arming the security system. To do so, push the
LOCK button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the system (while the
Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly).
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone
(refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Knowing Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in
the vehicle). NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button
on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
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.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
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.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The system will not arm if you lock the doors using the
manual door lock plunger.
