VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch (and
Keyless Go Start/Stop button) for unauthorized opera-
tion. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will prevent the vehicle from starting and provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn will
pulse, the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals
will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster will flash.
Rearming of the System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn
off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off
after 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press
a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger
door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is
closed, or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that
2

time, the Vehicle Security Light will flash. If it does not
illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm is not arming. In
addition, if you open a door during the arming period,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming pro-
cess. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the previously-
described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that
the vehicle ignition isOFF(refer to “Starting Proce-
dures” in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion). Then either press the power door LOCK switch
while the driver or passenger door is open, press the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter LOCK button or
press the Passive Entry Door Handle LOCK button (refer
to “Door Locks” in “Things To Know Before Starting” for
further information).To Disarm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter
or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch and
turn the key to the ON position.
NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on
the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
•The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during
trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the trunk, and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously-described arming sequences has oc-
curred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the
ignition will not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm
the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter
or grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle (refer to
“Door Locks” in “Things To Know Before Starting” forfurther information), press the Keyless Go Start/Stop
button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle),
or insert a valid Key Fob into the ignition switch (if the
Start/Stop button is removed) and rotate it to the RUN
position.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times when you
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for
tampering.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY — IF EQUIPPED
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or unlock any
door.
The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds
or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition
switch is turned ON from the LOCK position.

To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger side of the vehicle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all four doors automati-
cally.
NOTE:All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the driver ’s door
unlock preference setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE
Transmitter In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature. If one of the vehicle doors is open and the
door panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all
open doors have been closed, the vehicle checks the
passenger compartment for any valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters. If one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE
transmitters is detected, the Passive Entry System auto-
matically unlocks ALL vehicle doors and chirps the horn
three times (on the third attempt ALL doors will lock and
the Passive Entry RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle).
To Enter the Trunk
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 3 ft
(1.0 m) of the deck lid, press the button on the left side of
CHMSL, (Center High Mounted Stop Light) which is
located on the deck lid.
NOTE:
If you inadvertently leave your vehicle’s Passive
Entry RKE transmitter in the trunk and try to close the
deck lid, the deck lid will automatically unlatch, unless
another one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ters is outside the vehicle and within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the
deck lid.

covers the window. The airbag inflates in about 30 ms
(about one-quarter of the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you if you are not belted
and seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area
where the side curtain airbag inflates. This especially
applies to children. The side curtain airbag is only about
3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated.
Because airbag sensors estimate deceleration over time,
vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an airbag should have deployed.
NOTE:In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SABIC
airbags may deploy on both sides of the vehicle.
Front and Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sensors can aid the
ORC in determining appropriate response to impact
events. Additional sensors in the ORC determine the
level of airbag deployment and provide verification.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if
the communication network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on the nature of the
event the ORC will determine whether to have the
Enhanced Accident Response System perform the follow-
ing functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition key is turned off.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as
the battery has power, until the ignition key is re-
moved or the ignition switch is changed to OFF using
the Keyless Go Start/Stop button.
•Unlock the doors automatically.
