Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the trunk, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter will cause it to
alarm. It also alarms if the radio is
removed f rom the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.

your vehicle and valuables f rom thef t.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights (low beam), parking
lights, side marker lights, and
taillights f lash if someone attempts
to break into your vehicle or remove
the radio. This alarm continues f or 2
minutes, then it stops. To reset an
alarming system bef ore the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or the
