Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
it impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
This vehicle has a theft-deterrent
alarm system.
The security light flashes if a door
is open and locked with the power
door lock switch.
If this light stays on while the engine
is running, the vehicle needs
service.
Arming the System
To arm the system, press
Q
on the
RKE transmitter, or open the door
and lock the door with the power
door lock switch. The security light
should flash. Remove the RKE
transmitter from inside the vehicle
and close the door. The security
light stops flashing and stays on.
After 30 seconds, the light should
turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to
automatically lock the doors and
arm the theft-deterrent system when
you exit the vehicle. See Vehicle
Personalization on page 5‑55.
If a door or the hatch/trunk is
opened without using the RKE
transmitter, the alarm goes off. The
horn sounds for two minutes, then
goes off to save battery power. The
vehicle will not start without a RKE
transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system does not
arm if the driver door is locked with
the power door lock switch after the
doors are closed.
If the RKE transmitter is removed
from the vehicle while a passenger
is in it, have them lock the doors
after they are closed. The alarm will
not arm, so the passenger will not
set it off.
