will blink continuously if any of the
following occurs:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.

using the remote key or smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds,
then the system resets. To turn off
the alarm, unlock the doors with the
remote key or smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automatical-
ly sets 30 seconds after you lock the

to activate, you must lock the doors
and the liftgate from outside the vehi-
cle with the remote key or smart key
or by pressing the button on the out-
side of the door handle with the smart
key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink
and the chime will sound once to

hood without using the remote key or
smart key will cause the alarm to
activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if
the hood, the liftgate, or any door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the hood, the liftgate, or
the doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.

• Do not lock the doors until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the
vehicle when the system is armed,
the alarm will be activated.

doors by using the mechanical key
and place the ignition switch in the

ly pressing the ignition switch with
the smart key.
• If the system is disarmed by unlock-
ing the vehicle, but neither a door or
