Your vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent alarm system.

With the ignition off, you can arm the system by pressing the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter lock button.

The system will arm thirty seconds after all the doors are closed, or sixty seconds with any door open.

If you press the lock button on the RKE transmitter a second time while all the doors are closed, the system will arm immediately. The system will still arm in sixty seconds if a door is open. When the opened door is closed, it will also become armed.

The security light, located on the instrument panel cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming has been initiated. Once the system is armed, the security light will flash once every three seconds.

If the security light is flashing twice per second, this means that a door is open.

If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the car with the lock knob on the doors.
