NOTE:

The driver's door key cylinder and trunk
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the Vehicle Security system. Use of the door
key cylinder when the system is armed will
sound the alarm when the door is opened.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system 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 system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system 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 system.

NOTE:

The alarm does not disarm when the doors are
unlocked by inserting the blade of the emer -
gency key (found inside the key fob) into the
door handle lock cylinder.
