This system is designed to provide
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.

(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed. If any door (or liftgate) or engine
hood remains open, the hazard
warning lights and the chime will not

arm. If all doors and liftgate and
engine hood are closed after the lock
button is pressed, the hazard warn-
ing lights blink once.

warning lights will not blink using this
