If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a

remote keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound

and the lamps will ﬂash for about 30 seconds.

Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not arm if you

lock the doors with a key or use the manual door

lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock with

the door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.

To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the

following:

• The vehicle should be locked with the door key or

the manual door lock after the doors are closed if

you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent system.

• Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote

keyless entry transmitter system. Pressing the

unlock button on the remote keyless entry

transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.

Unlocking a door any other way will activate

the alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.

If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s

door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by

using the unlock button on the remote keyless entry

transmitter system, or by starting the car with a valid key.

Changes or modiﬁcations made to this system by other

than an authorized service facility could void

authorization to use the theft system.

Testing the Alarm

1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then

get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.

2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock

the vehicle using the power door lock or the remote

keyless entry system and close the door. Wait

30 seconds until the SECURITY lamp goes off.

3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual

lock and open the door. The horn will sound and

the hazard lights will ﬂash.

You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s door

with your key, using the unlock button on the remote

keyless entry transmitter or by starting the car with

a valid key.

If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to

see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To

replace the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on

page 5-98. If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you

may need to have your vehicle serviced.

To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the

theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
