Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A security light, located on
top of the instrument panel
will ash slowly to let
you know that the system
has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.

Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the
ignition on without using the correct key. The horn
will sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will
ash any time the alarm sounds.
When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the
liftgate may be opened by pressing the REAR button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm will
go into standby mode. Once the liftgate is closed, the
alarm will be armed. See “Liftgate Release” under
Liftgate on page 2-11for more information on how to
open the liftgate.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The content theft-deterrent alarm system will arm when
you use either power door lock switch to lock the doors
while any door or the liftgate is open and the key is
removed from the ignition. The security light, located on
top of the instrument panel, will start ashing when the
system is armed.
Within ve seconds, after the security light begins to
ash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened,
without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually
will remain unlocked until locked again.
Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you press LOCK once
on your remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the
doors. The alarm system light will come on for
30 seconds and then start ashing to let you know the
system is armed.
Within the 30 second delay after the security light
comes on, and an additional ve seconds after the light
begins to ash, any door can be manually unlocked
and opened, without sounding the alarm.
If LOCK is pressed on your remote keyless entry
transmitter twice within ve seconds, any door can be
manually unlocked and opened within ve seconds after
the security light begins to ash, without sounding the
alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked
until locked again.

armed.
