The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors f rom the outside with the key,
driver’s lock tab, door lock master
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself .With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or the remote transmitter without
triggering the alarm. The alarm will
sound if the trunk lock is f orced, or
the trunk is opened with the trunk
release handle.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
f ully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and trunk open
indicators on the instrument panel
(see page ) to see if the doors and
trunk are f ully closed. Since it is not
part of the monitor display, manually
check the hood.

or add other devices to it.
To see if the system is set
af ter you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the

the radio. This alarm continues f or 2
minutes, then it stops. To reset an
activated system before the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause the
alarm to activate. It will also activate
if the audio unit is removed f rom the
dashboard or the wiring is cut. 61
