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
an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Push unlock on the key fob, 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 key fob, once the
vehicle security alarm is armed, when you pull the door
handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, push the
unlock button on the key fob to disarm the vehicle security
alarm.
Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) —

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.
