protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the
"Theft-alarm" stage, and the third is

the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.

2. Make sure that all doors (and lift- gate (tailgate)) and engine hood
are closed and latched.
3. Lock the doors using the transmit- ter of the keyless entry system (or
smart key) or ignition key.
After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed. If any door (or liftgate (tailgate)) or
engine hood remains open, the haz-
ard warning lights and the chime will
not operate and the theft-alarm will
not arm. If all doors (and liftgate (tail-
gate)) and engine hood are closed

stop and move in the opposite
direction. However, if the resistance is weak

ation, the power liftgate (tailgate)
may stop at that position. At this time,
close the liftgate (tailgate) manually
and operate the liftgate (tailgate)
