the hazard warning lights will blink
continuously if any of the following
occur:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.
- The tailgate is opened without using
the remote key or smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds, then
the system resets. To turn off the alarm,

the door handle with the smart key in
your possession (available with button

- Touching the touch sensor on the
outside of the door handle with

The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the tailgate, or the hood
without using the remote key or smart
key will cause the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the
hood, the tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the tailgate, or the doors are
fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Information
• Do not lock the doors until all
passengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the vehicle
when the system is armed, the alarm
will be activated.
