PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the turn signal lamps and side repeaters and honk the horn.

ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Locking the vehicle using the remote entry transmitter.

• Pressing the interior power door lock control while the door is open.
Twenty seconds after one of the above events occurs, any door/hood that
is closed is armed.
Any door/hood that is still open is prearmed and waiting for the
door/hood to be closed.
Once that input is closed, the input will arm in 20 seconds and the
exterior lamps may flash.

• Unlock the vehicle with the remote keyless transmitter.
• Unlock the vehicle with the keyless entry keypad.
