PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare brought to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
turn signal lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your
remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that
all doors, the hood and the trunk are closed. If any of these are not
closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a door, the hood or the
trunk is still open.
•Press the driver or passenger
interior door lock control while
the door is open, then close the
door.

Each door, the hood or the trunk is

open, they must be closed for the
system to enter the 20 second
countdown.
The turn signal lamps will flash once

shut off the horn and parking lamps when the alarm is sounding. The
