Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A security light, located on top of the instrument panel will flash slowly to let you know that the system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to enter the vehicle without using the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE ) transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the ignition on without using the correct key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash any time the alarm sounds.
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the liftgate may be opened by pressing the REAR button on the RKE transmitter. The alarm will go into standby mode. Once the liftgate is closed, the alarm will be armed. See "Liftgate Release" under Liftgate for more information on how to open the liftgate.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The content theft-deterrent alarm system will arm when you use either power door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or the liftgate is open and the key is removed from the ignition. The security light, located on top of the instrument panel, will start flashing when the system is armed.
Within five seconds, after the security light begins to flash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened, without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked until locked again.
Arming with the RKE Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you press LOCK once on your RKE transmitter to lock the doors. The alarm system light will come on for 30 seconds and then start flashing to let you know the system is armed.
Within the 30 second delay after the security light comes on, and an additional five seconds after the light begins to flash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened, without sounding the alarm.
If LOCK is pressed on your RKE transmitter twice within five seconds, any door can be manually unlocked and opened within five seconds after the security light begins to flash, without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked until locked again.
Disarming with Your Key
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your key to unlock the driver's door. The security light will stop flashing to let you know the system is no longer armed.
Disarming with the RKE Transmitter
Your alarm system will disarm when you press UNLOCK on your RKE transmitter to unlock the doors. The security light, on top of the instrument panel, will stop flashing to let you know the system is no longer armed.
