You should also remember that you can start your
vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.

To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

.

If you do not want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.

.

Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off the
alarm if the system has been armed.

If you set off the alarm by accident, press unlock on the
RKE transmitter or place the key in the ignition and turn
it to START to turn it off.

Testing the Alarm

To test the alarm:

1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver's window

and open the driver's door.

2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the

RKE transmitter.

3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for

the security light to go out.

4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door

with the manual door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.

If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps flash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 6‑118.

If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
flash, see your dealer/retailer for service.
