VEHICLE SECURITY
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, liftgate, and the keyless push button
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also
monitors movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed,
interior switches for door locks are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash

NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle
with the key fob and lock the doors.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position. 2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/orpassenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry door handle with a valid keyfob available in the same exterior zone

Ú
page 26.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or liftgate) are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock
the door
Ú
page 26.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.

NOTE:

The driver's door key cylinder and liftgate
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 emergency
key (found inside the key fob) into the door

digital experience.
HomeLink® replaces up to
three hand-held transmitters
that operate devices such as
garage door openers,
motorized gates, lighting, or
home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is
powered by your vehicle’s 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the
overhead console or sunvisor designate the
three different HomeLink® channels.
To operate HomeLink®, push and release any
of the programmed HomeLink® buttons.
These buttons will activate the devices they
are programmed to with each press of the
corresponding HomeLink® button.
The HomeLink® indicator light is located

For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the Radio-Frequency (RF) signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device that is
being programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Make sure your hand-held transmitter is
programmed to activate the device you are trying
to program your HomeLink® button to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the
garage before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the
channels of your HomeLink® before you use it for
the first time.

IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A
R
OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE
D
EVICE
Before programming a device to one of your
HomeLink® buttons, you must determine
whether the device has a rolling code or
non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a
good indicator is its manufacturing date.
Typically, devices manufactured after 1995 have
rolling codes. A device with a rolling code will also
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the antenna is attached to the device. The button
may not be immediately visible when looking at
the device. The name and color of the button may
vary slightly by manufacturer.

NOTE:
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button
you normally use to operate the device.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not
have a rolling code. These devices will also not
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.
