VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED

turn on, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and
the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn off
after 3 minutes, turn all of the visual signals off after 15
additional minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm
will rearm itself.

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

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key
Fob In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry
system is equipped with an automatic door unlock feature
which will function if the ignition is OFF.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the inside and outside of the
vehicle for any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the
vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid Passive Entry key fobs are
detected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the horn
three times (on the third attempt ALL doors will lock and
the Passive Entry key fob can be locked in the vehicle). To Enter The Liftgate:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
liftgate, push the button underneath the left side of the
accent bar, which is located on the liftgate below the glass,
to lock or unlock the vehicle.
