Specifications
Arming the System
To arm the system:
• Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter.
• Open the door. Lock the door with the power
door lock switch. The security light should
flash. Remove the keyless access transmitter
from the interior of the vehicle and close the door.
The security light will stop flashing and stay on.
After 30 seconds, the light should turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
lock the doors and arm the system when you
exit the vehicle. See DIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 3-76.
Now, if a door or the trunk lid is opened without the
keyless access transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your
horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go off to save
battery power. And, your vehicle will not start without
a keyless transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock the
driver’s door with the power door lock switch after
the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keyless access transmitter, have the passenger
lock the vehicle after the doors are closed. This way the
alarm will not arm, and your passenger will not set it off.
Testing the Alarm
To test the system:
1. Make sure the trunk lid is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver’s door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually
pull the release lever on the floor.
6. Turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock button
on the transmitter.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 6-90. If the horn works, but
the alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer/retailer.
Disarming the System
Always use your keyless access transmitter to unlock
a door either by pressing the unlock button on the
transmitter or by squeezing the door handle sensor while
you have the transmitter with you. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds,
press the unlock button on the keyless access transmitter
to disarm it.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
