Vehicle Security
Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities. This
vehicle has theft-deterrent features,
however, they do not make it
impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
Your vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
United States shown,
Canada similar
The security light is located near the
center of the instrument panel.
To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Q on the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are closed. The
security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then
flashes slowly. If
Q on the RKE
transmitter is pressed a second
time, the theft-deterrent system will
activate immediately, bypassing the
30 second delay. The content theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light flashes slowly.
If any door, liftgate or the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are opened
without using the key or pressing
K
on the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps flash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
Q or K on
the RKE transmitter is not pressed,
the alarm sounds and periodically
repeats. If the system does not
operate as described above, see
your dealer/retailer for service.
The theft-deterrent system also
activates if you lock the doors with
a key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident, always unlock a door with
the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way will
set off the alarm if the system has
been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
Q or
K on the RKE transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and
turning it to START.
