hicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless

PREMIUM VEHICLE
SECURITY ALARM — IF
EQUIPPED
The premium vehicle security alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch
for unauthorized operation. The system also
includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor moni-
tors the vehicle interior for motion. The ve-
hicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for any
tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery backup
which senses interruptions of power and
communications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 29 seconds
and the exterior lights will flash followed byapproximately five seconds of no activity.
This will continue for eight cycles if no action
is taken to disarm the system.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the security alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system,
refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating" in your Owner’s manual
for further information.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, make
sure the vehicle ignition system is
"OFF."
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, make
sure the vehicle ignition system is
"OFF" and the key is physically re-
moved from the ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to
lock the vehicle:
• Push lock on the interior power door
lock switch with the driver and/or pas-
senger door open.• Push the lock button on the exterior
passive entry door handle with a key
fob available in the same exterior zone,
refer to "Doors" in "Getting To Know
Your Vehicle" in your Owner’s Manua
for further information.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
• Once the security system is armed, it re-
mains in that state until you disarm it by
following either of the disarming proce-
dures described. If a power loss occurs
after arming the system, you must disarm
the system after restoring power to prevent
alarm activation.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion de-
tector) actively monitors your vehicle every
time you arm the security system. If you
prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic intru-
sion sensor when arming the security sys-
tem. To do so, push the lock button on the
key fob five times within five seconds of
arming the system (while the Vehicle Secu-
rity Light is flashing rapidly).
