Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the key after the
doors are closed
if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. (Pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the
alarm. Cycling the ignition
without disarming the theft-deterrent system will
also activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by
using the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
alarm
won’t stop if you try to unlock a door in any other way.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out
of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the remote
keyless entry transmitter and close the door. Wait
30 seconds.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlarnps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,
you may
need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate
the optional theft-deterrent system when leaving
your vehicle.
