Content Theft

-

Deterrent

Your vehicle is equipped with a content theft

-

deterrent

alarm system.

With this system, the
SECURITY light will flash
as you open the door
(if your ignition is off).

This light reminds you to activate the theft

-

deterrent

system. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the door.

2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the

remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should come on and stay on.

3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off

after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a door is opened without the key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your vehicle’s
headlamps will flash and the horn will sound for
110 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

Remember, the theft

-

deterrent system won’t activate if

you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should also remember that you
can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the
alarm has been set off.

Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
D If you don’t want to activate the theft

-

deterrent

system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.

D Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote

keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.

If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with the key. You can also turn off the alarm by pressing
UNLOCK on the remote keyless transmitter. The alarm
won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
