Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the
parking lights flash if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted to prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the
remote transmitter.The system does not operate when the key is in-
serted into the ignition switch. System operation
The security system will give the following alarm in-
dications when triggered: The parking lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor willnot operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm will continue for sixtimes if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid (vehicle
equipped with trunk light only).
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g.
breaking glass or forced entry). Note that there are
two alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In
warning mode, the alarm detects lower level vibra-
tions and triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and
two flashes on the lights as a deterrent to would be
vandals. In alarm mode, higher levels of shock are
detected and the system will go into full alarm. Ignition switch being turned on while in armed
