Arming the System

To arm the system, do the following:

1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and

remove it.

2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.

3. Close and lock all the side doors and liftgate with

the key or remote keyless entry transmitter.

The indicator light located
on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering
wheel will come on when
all the side doors and
liftgate are closed
and locked.

The system will be automatically set after 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator light will start
flashing.

4. After the indicator light starts flashing, you may

leave the vehicle.

Do not leave anyone in the vehicle when you set
the system, because unlocking the vehicle from the
inside will activate the system.

Testing the Alarm

To test the alarm, do the following:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the system as described in the previous

procedure. The side doors and liftgate should
be locked with the key or remote keyless entry
transmitter. Be sure to wait until the indicator light
starts flashing.

3. Unlock the driver’s door from the inside. The

system should activate the alarm.

4. Stop the alarm as described in the disarming

procedure.

5. Repeat this operation for the other doors. Also

check that the system is activated when the
battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected.

If the system does not work properly, have it
checked by your dealer.
