Arming the System
With the ignition off, pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter LOCK button will arm the system immediately after all doors and the trunk are closed. If the transmitter LOCK button is pressed again within five seconds, the horn will chirp to confirm that the system has been armed.
Once the system is armed, the THEFT SYSTEM light on your instrument panel will flash and remain flashing. This confirms the system is armed and monitoring the doors and trunk. If the light is on solid, the system is not properly activated due to either a door or the trunk being ajar.
If you don't want to arm the system, lock the car with the lock levers on the doors or with the power door lock switch.
Disarming the System
If the system is armed, pressing the UNLOCK button on the transmitter will disarm the system. The THEFT SYSTEM light will stop flashing.
If the system is armed, turning the key to START will also disarm the system.
If the system is armed and the trunk is opened using the trunk release button on the transmitter, the system will temporarily disarm itself and re-arm when the trunk has been closed. This allows the customer to exit the vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter, and open the trunk using the transmitter without having to disarm and subsequently re-arm the system.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, opening any door or trunk, or using a wrong key to start the vehicle will cause a pre-alarm chirp for 10 seconds and then a full alarm of horn and headlights for two minutes.
If an alarm event has finished and all doors and trunk are closed, the content theft security system will re-arm itself.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated by:
| • | Pressing the transmitter LOCK or panic button to turn off the alarm. The system will also re-arm if all doors and trunk are later closed, or |
| • | pressing the transmitter UNLOCK or trunk button to turn off the alarm and disarm the system, or |
| • | putting the key in the ignition and turning it to START to turn off the alarm and disarm the system. |
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the UNLOCK, LOCK or trunk buttons on your transmitter, that means the content theft security system alarm was triggered while you were away.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the headlamp flash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp twice on the first press of the UNLOCK button. See your dealer for more information.
