lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
vehicle security light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
Rearming Of The System
The vehicle security alarm will rearm itself after
the 15 additional minutes of the park lamps
and vehicle security light flashing, if the system
has not been disabled. If the condition which
initiated the alarm is still present, the system
will ignore that condition and monitor the
remaining doors and ignition.

NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the lift-
gate button will not disarm the vehicle secu -
rity alarm. If someone enters the vehicle

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 previously 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, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
