Anti-theft Alarm System

This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.

The LED light, located on the instrument panel near the windshield, indicates the status of the system.

Arming the System

1. Close all doors, liftgate, and hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the transmitter or the power door lock button. The LED on the instrument panel should come on and stay on for about 30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, the alarm system will arm, and the LED will begin to slowly flash indicating the alarm is operating.

If a door, the hood, or liftgate is opened without first unlocking with the transmitter, the turn signals will flash and the horn will sound for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.

The theft-deterrent alarm system will not activate if the doors are locked with the key. You can start the vehicle with a recognized transmitter in the vehicle if the alarm has been set off.

Disarming the System

To disarm the system, either unlock the doors using the transmitter, or start the vehicle with a recognized transmitter in the vehicle.

To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

- Lock the vehicle with the transmitter after all occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
- Always unlock a door with the transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way will not disarm the alarm.

If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the alarm by pressing on the transmitter. The alarm will not stop if you try to unlock a door any other way

How to Detect a Tamper Condition
