– The security light (A) will flash once

every 0.8 seconds to indicate that the
theft-deterrent system is armed. The
security light is located on the driver’s
door lock.

To avoid activating the alarm by accident,
do the following:

• Lock the vehicle with the key or the man-

ual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don’t want to arm the theft-deterrent
system.

• Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front

door with the key or use the remote key-
less entry transmitter. Pressing the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter disables the theft-deter-
rent system. Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the alarm when a door
or the trunk is opened.

The theft-deterrent system will not arm
when you lock the doors using the key or
the manual door lock. It arms only when
you use the remote keyless entry transmit-
ter.

Disarming the System
To disarm the system, do the following:

• Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front

door using the key, or

• Press the Unlock button on the transmit-

ter.

– The LED on the transmitter will flash

once.

– All of the doors will unlock.
– The hazard warning lamps will flash

twice.

– The theft-deterrent mode will deacti-

vate.

How the System Alarm is Activated
If a door or the trunk is opened without the
key or the remote keyless entry transmitter,
the horn will sound and the lamps will flash
for up to 30 seconds.

The theft-deterrent system won’t arm if you
lock the doors with the key or use the man-
ual door lock. It activates only if you use
the remote keyless entry transmitter.

If the door is not opened or if the engine is
not started within 30 seconds after disarm-
ing the system with the transmitter, all of
the doors will automatically lock and the
theft-deterrent mode will reactivate.

How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be
deactivated using the following methods:

• Press the Lock or Unlock button on the

remote keyless entry transmitter.

• Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front

door using the key.

Otherwise, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds. The system will
then lock the doors and reactivate the
theft-deterrent system.

How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If the hazard lamps flash once when the
Lock or Unlock button on your transmitter
is pressed, that means the theft-security
system alarm was triggered while you
were away.
