Disarming an untriggered anti-theft system
[CF77700(ALL)03/96]
Unlock either door with the door key or by pressing the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter (if
equipped). This will disarm the system. When you unlock the
door with the key, make sure you fully rotate the key in the
lock. If you do not, the system may not disarm, and will trigger
when a door is opened.
[CF77777(ALL)05/96]
If the system is armed and you remain in your vehicle, simply
insert the key into the ignition and turn it to ACC. This disarms
the system and allows you to open the door to exit without
triggering the system. Remember to rearm the system by using
the power door lock or the remote transmitter (if equipped) to
lock the doors.
[CF77800(ALL)01/96]
The remote keyless entry system is designed to work with the
factory installed anti-theft system. It may not work with other
