Universal Theft - Deterrent
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, it has a theft - deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the SECURITY
light will flash as you open the door (if your ignition is
in OFF).
This light on the instrument
panel cluster reminds you to
activate the theft
- deterrent
system when leaving
your vehicle.
To activate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped). The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off after about 30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.
