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.
107

Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is
located on the
instrument panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm
the theft-deterrent system.
To arm the system, do one of the following:
Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter. If the door is closed when the
lock button is pressed, the security light
will stay illuminated for 30 seconds. After the
security light goes off, the theft-deterrent
system is armed. Pressing the lock button
twice will arm the system immediately.
If the vehicle is locked using the keyless
access transmitter and the trunk lid, hood
or a door is open or not closed completely,the security light will ash for 60 seconds and
then turn off. At this time, the theft-deterrent
system is armed but the alarm will not sound if
the trunk lid, hood or door that was not
closed completely is tampered with or opened.
The alarm will sound for the trunk lid, hood
or a door that was completely closed at
the time the vehicle was locked using the
keyless access transmitter.
Open the door. Lock the door with the power
door lock switch or lock button on the keyless
access transmitter. The security light should
ash. Close the door. The security light
will stop ashing and stay on. After 30 seconds
the light should turn off, the theft-deterrent
system is armed.
Passive Arming, if activated through the
vehicle personalization feature, will arm
the system automatically after you close the
door and take at least one keyless access
transmitter with you. The security light will turn
on. After 60 seconds the light should turn
off. The theft-deterrent system is armed. See
Vehicle Personalization on page 148.
108

If a door, hood, or the trunk is opened without
the keyless access transmitter, the horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the lamps will ash
for two minutes. The vehicle cannot be started
without a keyless access transmitter.
The Theft-Deterrent system will not arm if:
The key is used to turn the key cylinder to
the lock position.
The driver’s door is locked using the power
door lock switch after the doors are closed.
If the vehicle is locked using the keyless access
transmitter and the trunk lid, hood or a door
is open or not closed completely, the security
light will ash for 60 seconds and then turn off.
At this time, the theft-deterrent system is armed
but the alarm will not sound if the trunk lid, hood or
door that was not closed completely is tampered
with or opened. The alarm will sound for the
trunk lid, hood or a door that was completely
closed at the time the vehicle was locked using
the keyless access transmitter.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
unlock the doors and disarm the theft-deterrent
system when you approach the vehicle and
the keyless access transmitter is with you. See
Vehicle Personalization on page 148.Pressing the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter or using the key to unlock the
driver’s door disarms the theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way while the
system is armed will activate the alarm.
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 of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock switch or the keyless access transmitter
and close the door. Wait about 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and open the door using the inside
door handle. The horn will sound and the
exterior lamps will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock
button on the keyless access transmitter or by
starting the car.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
109

To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 487. If the fuse does not need to
be replaced, you may need to have your vehicle
serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
Theft-Deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lockout Switch
The valet lockout switch
is located inside the
glove box.
9(Off):Press the left side of the valet lockout
switch to turn the lockout feature off. When the
lockout feature is off, you can open the trunk using
either the keyless access transmitter or the trunk
release button located on the driver’s door.
R(On):Press the right side of the valet lockout
switch to turn the lockout feature on. When
the lockout feature is turned on, the trunk cannot
be unlocked with the keyless access transmitter
or the trunk release button located on the driver’s
door. If the valet lockout feature is on it will
also disable the remote start feature and the
Universal Home Remote transmitter, if equipped.
Locking the glove box with your key will also
help to secure your vehicle.

page 88andTrunk on page 101for additional

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote
System. If there are three round Light Emitting
Diode (LED) under the Universal Home Remote
System buttons, follow the instructions below. If
there is one triangular LED next to the Universal
Home Remote System buttons, follow the
instructions under Universal Home Remote System
Operation (with one triangular LED).This system provides a way to replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door openers, security
systems, and home lighting.
Do not use this system with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming the
transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control
transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as,
for future programming. You only need the
original remote control transmitter for xed code
programming. It is also recommended that upon
the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
137

the programmed buttons should be erased for
security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal
Home Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the
garage door or security device you are
programming. When programming a garage door,
it is advised to park outside of the garage.If you do not know if your garage door opener is a
xed code or rolling code device, open your
garage door opener’s remote control battery cover.
Your garage door opener is a xed code device
if there is a panel of switches. If not, your
garage door opener is a rolling code device.
Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
Fixed Code garage door openers are used for
garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed code
uses the same coded signal every time, which
is manually programmed by setting DIP switches
for a unique personal code.
138

5. After entering the switch settings, press and
release all three buttons at the same time.
The indicator lights will turn on.
6. Press and hold the button you would like to
use to control the garage door until the
garage door moves. The indicator light above
the selected button should slowly blink.
You may need to hold the button from ve to
55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the
garage door moves. The indicator light will
blink rapidly until programming is complete.
8. Press and release the button again. The
garage door should move, conrming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another device such as an additional
garage door opener, a security device, or
home lighting, repeat Steps 1–8, choosing a
different function button in Step 6 than what you
used for the garage door opener.Programming Universal Home
Remote — Rolling Code
Rolling code garage door openers are used for
garage doors produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded
signal is changed every time your remote control
garage door opener is used.
Programming a rolling code garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so read the
entire procedure before you begin. If you do not
follow these actions, the device will time out
and you will have to repeat the procedure.
