1. Press and hold the “Unlock” button on a programmed
(i.e. functional) key fob for at least 4 seconds, but not
longer than 10 seconds. Then, press and hold the “Lock”
button while still holding the “Unlock” button.
2. Release both buttons at the same time.
3. Test the feature from outside the vehicle by pressing
the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons on the key fob.
4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to
its previous setting.
NOTE: Pressing the “Lock” button on the key fob while
you are inside the vehicle will activate the Security
Alarm. Opening a door with the Security Alarm activated
will cause the alarm to sound. Press the “Unlock” button
to deactivate the Security Alarm.
Using the Panic Alarm
NOTE: The “Panic” and “Security” alarms are quite
different. Please take a moment to activate the “Panic”
and the “Security” modes to hear the differences in the
horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will
need to know which mode has been activated in order to
deactivate it.
To turn the panic alarm feature ON or OFF, press and
hold the “Panic” button on the key fob for at least one
second and release. When the panic alarm is on, the
headlights and parking lights will flash, the horn will
pulse on and off, and the illuminated entry system will
turn on.
The panic alarm will stay on for 3 minutes unless you
turn it off by pressing the “Panic” button a second time or
if the vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or greater.
