Universal Theft-Deterrent
(If
Equipped)
SECURITY
If your vehicle has
this option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm
system. With this system,
the SECURITY light will
flash as you open the door
(if your ignition is off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft-deterrent
system when leaving your vehicle.
Activating the system:
1.
2.
3.
Open the door.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The SECURITY light should turn on and
stay on.
Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off
after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until
the SECURITY light goes off.
If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If
a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off.
It will also go off
if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lamps will flash and the horn will sound for
one minute, and then will
go off in order to save
battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch with
a door open, or the remote keyless entry transmitter. You
should also remember that you can start your vehicle
with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set
off. You must still shut off the alarm by inserting the key
in the door lock, or by pressing the UNLOCK button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
