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 content theft-deterrent
alarm system. If your
vehicle has remote
keyless entry, then it
has content
theft-deterrent.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter lock
button.
The system will arm after either of these things
occur:
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed,
the system will arm immediately. The system will
still arm in 60 seconds if a door is open. When
the open door is closed, it will also become armed.
111

The security light will turn on to indicate that
arming has been initiated. Once the system is
armed, the security light will ash once every
three seconds.
If the security light is ashing twice per second,
this means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may
lock the car with the manual lock knobs on
the doors.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of
the following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button.
Turn the ignition on.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop ashing.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated
by either:
Opening the driver’s door or tailgate. This will
cause a ten second pre-alarm chirp followed
by a thirty second full alarm of horn and lights.
Opening any other door. This will immediately
cause a full alarm of horn and lights for
thirty seconds.
When an alarm event has nished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the
following:
Press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The system will then
re-arm itself.
Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. This will also disarm the
system.
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on.
This will also disarm the system.

How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when you press the unlock
or lock buttons on the remote keyless transmitter,
it means that the content theft security system
alarm was previously activated.
