Buick 2007 Rainier - Manual (Page 106)

Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped
with a content
theft-deterrent alarm
system.
Here is how to operate the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
security light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The security light should turn
off after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm
is not armed until the security light turns off.
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.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
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 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.
