UNLOCK: The driver's door will unlock when the
UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed. In
addition, the headlamps will flash twice, the dome lamp
will turn on for about 20 seconds or until the ignition
is turned on, and the security system will disarm. The
THEFT SYSTEM light will stop flashing. If you press
UNLOCK again within five seconds, all remaining
doors will unlock.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp flash feature and horn chirp. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp twice
on the first press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.
If you use the key to lock or unlock your door or trunk
while the system is armed, you will hear a pre

chirp. This will last for 10 seconds, then the full alarm
will sound. This can be avoided by pressing any key fob
button or turning the ignition to START.
If you hear three chirps when you press the UNLOCK
or LOCK button on your transmitter, that means
your security system alarm was triggered while you
were away.Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime when
the vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed and the
vehicle speed is less that 2 mph (3 km/h). The headlamps
will flash twice. When the trunk is unlocked using the
transmitter, the security system will be temporarily
disarmed until the trunk is opened and closed again or a
period of one minute elapses at which time the system
will re
-arm.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the headlamp
flash feature. See your dealer for more information.
Horn Symbol: The horn will sound and the headlamps
and dome lamp will flash alternately when this button is
pressed. This can be turned off by pressing the horn
symbol button again or by turning the ignition to ON.

Battery Saver
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature
designed to protect your vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, etc.)
is left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery
rundown protection system will automatically turn the
lamp off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining the
battery. This system does not protect against leaving on
the headlamps or parking lamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, either:

The ignition must be turned on,

the activated lamp switch must be turned off,
then on, or

a front door must be opened.
The battery rundown protection feature will also be
activated when any door is left open.
