Content Theft-Deterrent

Your vehicle may have a
content theft-deterrent
alarm system.

Arming the System

With the ignition off, press the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter lock button to arm the system.

The system will arm 30 seconds after all the doors are
closed, or 60 seconds with any door open.

If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm in 60 seconds
if a door is open. When the open door is closed, the
system will arm.

The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, comes on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security light
flashes once every three seconds.

If the security light is flashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.

If the system is armed and the key is used to unlock the
vehicle, the alarm will be activated.

If you do not want to arm the content theft system, lock
the vehicle with the manual lock knob on the doors
or with the inside power door lock switches.

The alarm will sound and the exterior lights will flash if
any door is opened while armed.

Disarming the System

To disarm the system, do one of the following:

Press the RKE transmitter unlock button.

Turn the ignition to ON/RUN.

Once the system is disarmed, the security light will stop
flashing.

How the System Alarm is Activated

To activate the system if it is armed:

Open the driver’s door or trunk. A ten second
pre-alarm chirp will sound followed by a thirty
second full alarm of horn and lights.

Open any other door. A full alarm of horn and lights
will immediately sound for thirty seconds.

Open the hood. If the vehicle has the remote start
feature, it will activate the full alarm.

When an alarm event has finished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
