Arming the anti-theft system

the key and press the lock control
on the remote entry transmitter.
Identifying an armed system
While the system is arming, the THEFT light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, THEFT will flash,
indicating the system is armed.
If the system is arming with the doors open, the THEFT light will stay
illuminated until all the doors are closed and then illuminate for 30
seconds and begin flashing.
When an unauthorized entry occurs, the activated system will:
• flash the parking lamps and the THEFT light
• sound the horn
The flashing parking lamps and the honking horn automatically shut off
after about three minutes and will remain off unless another
unauthorized entry is attempted.
Disarming the anti-theft system
Disarming an untriggered anti-theft system
