DELUXE VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Deluxe Vehicle Security system monitors the
doors, hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry
and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
The system also includes a dual function intrusion
sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor
monitors the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for any
tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc.).
If a perimeter violation triggers the security system,
the horn will sound for 29 seconds and the exterior
lights will flash followed by approximately five
seconds of no activity. This will continue for eight
cycles if no action is taken to disarm the system.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:

3. If any doors, windows, or the sunroof (if equipped) are open, close them.
NOTE:
When armed, the interior motion sensor detects
movement within the vehicle's interior,
including moving objects (i.e. people and pets)
and air currents through open windows or the
sunroof. The windows and sunroof should be
closed, and moving objects should not be left in
the vehicle when the intrusion detection is
armed, otherwise false alarms can occur.
Once the security system is armed, it remains in
that state until you disarm it by following either
of the disarming procedures described. If a
power loss occurs after arming the system, you

OMELINK®
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.

tional buttons.
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.
