Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.
The indicator light, on the instrument panel near the windshield, indicates the status of the system.
Off: Alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid : Vehicle is secured during the delay to arm the system.
Fast Flash: Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the hood, or the trunk is open.
Slow Flash: Alarm system is armed.
Arming the Alarm System
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Lock the vehicle in one of three ways:
- Use the remote key.
- Use the Keyless Access system.
- With a door open, press
on the interior of the door.
- After 30 seconds the alarm system will arm, and the indicator light will begin to slowly flash indicating the alarm system is operating. Pressing
on the remote key a second time will bypass the 30-second delay and immediately arm the alarm system.
The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the mechanical key.
If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the remote key, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing
on the remote key during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
The alarm will also be activated if a passenger door, the trunk, or the hood is opened without first disarming the system.
When the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor the next unauthorized event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the alarm if it has been activated:
- Press
on the remote key. - Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Access system.
- Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
- Lock the vehicle after all occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
- Always unlock a door with the remote key or use the Keyless Access system.
Unlatching the driver door with the mechanical key will not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition If
is pressed on the remote key and the horn chirps and the lights flash three times, a previous alarm occurred while the system was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a message will appear on the DIC.
Power Sounder, Inclination Sensor, and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent system features, this system may also have a power sounder, inclination sensor, and intrusion sensor.
The power sounder provides an audible alarm which is distinct from the vehicle’s horn. It has its own power source, and can sound an alarm if the vehicle’s battery is compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off the alarm if it senses movement of the vehicle, such as when a tire is removed. Make sure the vehicle’s alarm is not armed prior to any jacking.
The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior, and can activate the alarm if it senses unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to remain in the vehicle when the intrusion
sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent system and activating the intrusion sensor:
- Make sure all doors and windows are completely closed.
- Secure any loose items such as sun glasses.
- Make sure there are no obstructions blocking the sensors in the front overhead console.
- Close DVD screens before leaving the vehicle.
Inclination and Intrusion Sensor Disable
Switch
It is recommended that the intrusion and inclination sensor be deactivated if pets are left in the vehicle or the vehicle is being transported. With the vehicle turned off, press
The indicator light will come on momentarily, indicating that these sensors have been disabled for the next alarm system arming cycle.
