Once the security system is armed, it
remains 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
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the security
system. To do so, push the lock button on
the key fob five times within five seconds
of arming the system (while the Vehicle
Security Light is flashing rapidly).
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grasp the passive entry door handle to
unlock the door, refer to “Doors” in this

START/STOP ignition button (requiresat least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).

valid Integrated Vehicle Key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the ON position.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the lift -
gate 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
liftgate button will not disarm the vehicle
security alarm. If someone enters the
vehicle through the liftgate and opens any
door the alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the security
system. To do so, push the lock button on
the key fob five times within five seconds
of arming the system (while the vehicle
security light is flashing rapidly).
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, the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously
injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passen -
gers are also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object, to project
through the sunroof opening. Injury may
result.

parts for supporting and/or grabbing
purposes. Serious personal injury may
result to fingers and other body parts as
well as damage to the sunroof.
