NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm
the Vehicle Security Alarm.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected.Disabling
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of long
inactivity of the car), lock the doors by turning the vehicle
key in the exterior door lock cylinder.
NOTE:If the batteries in the RKE transmitter discharge
in the event of a failure to the system, or to switch off the
alarm, place the ignition in the MAR/RUN position.
