This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
it impossible to steal.
Anti-theft Alarm System
On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm
system, to activate the system:
. Press Q on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the
power door lock switch when
any door is open.
The security light flashes.
When the door is closed,
the security light stops
flashing and stays on solid
for approximately 30 seconds.
The content theft-deterrent alarm
is not armed until the security
light goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is
active, the alarm is not activated
until all doors are closed and the
security light goes off.
. Press
Q
when the driver door
is closed. The security light
comes on solid for approximately
30 seconds and then goes off.
The content theft-deterrent alarm
is not armed until the security
light goes off.
The theft-deterrent system will not
activate if the doors are locked with
the vehicle's key or the manual
door lock.
If a locked door is opened
without using the RKE transmitter,
a 10-second pre-alarm occurs.
The horn chirps and the lights flash.
If the key is not placed in the
ignition and turned to START
or the door is not unlocked by
pressing
Q during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm goes off.
The headlamps flash and the horn
sounds for about 30 seconds, then
turns off to save the battery power.
The vehicle can be started with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
. Lock the vehicle with the door
key after the doors are closed.
. Unlock the door with the RKE
transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way sets off the alarm if
the system has been armed.
Press
K
or place the key in the
ignition and turn it to START to
turn off the alarm.
