On Sport modelThe security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and a
combination of headlights, parking/
side marker lights and taillights
flashes if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle or remove the audio
unit. This alarm continues for 2
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an activated system before the
2 minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver's door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors and the tailgate from 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.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the tailgate, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter, will cause it to
alarm. It also alarms if the radio is
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.
The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger inside the locked vehicle
turns the ignition switch on.The security system will not set if the
hood, tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and tailgate open
indicator on the instrument panel
(see page
62)to see if the doors and
tailgate are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
NOTE: To see if the system is set
after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, the horn will beep
once.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.

altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters) adds to this problem.
