VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthor-

security light in the instrument cluster will flash.
Rearming Of The System
The vehicle security alarm will rearm itself after the 15

ing doors and ignition.
