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

after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed
until the security light goes off.

If the delayed locking feature is turned on, the
theft-deterrent system will not start the arming
process until the last door is closed and the delay
timer has expired. See Delayed Locking on
page 2-9
.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn
off to save the battery power. You can choose different
feedback options for the alarm. See DIC Vehicle
Customization
on page 3-55.

Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate if
you lock the doors with the vehicle’s 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 is how 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 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 entry transmitter. The alarm
will not stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.

Testing the Alarm

The alarm can be tested by following these steps:

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

power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry 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.
