Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A red light located on top
of the instrument panel,
toward the center of the
vehicle and near the
windshield, will flash slowly
when the system is armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. The remote alarm will sound if
someone tampers with the trunk lock, enters the vehicle
without using the remote keyless entry transmitter or
key to unlock the doors, or turns the ignition on without
the proper key. The horn will sound and the headlamps
will flash for up to two minutes. The system will also
cut off the fuel supply, preventing the vehicle from
being driven.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The vehicle’s content theft-deterrent alarm system
can be activated when the key is removed from
the ignition and either power door lock switch is used to
lock the doors, when any door is open. This system
can be activated through the Driver’s Information Center
(DIC). See personal programming under
DIC Controls
and Displays on page 3-45 .
When programmed, the red light will flash rapidly on top
of the instrument panel indicating the system is ready to
activate. When the doors are locked using the power door
lock switch, the red light will stop flashing indicating that
the system is arming. After all the doors are closed and
locked, the red light will begin flashing at a very slow rate,
indicating the system is armed.
