Universal Theft-Deterrent
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the SECURITY light will
flash as you open the door (if your ignition is in OFF).
This light on the instrument
panel cluster reminds you to
activate the theft
-deterrent
system when leaving
your vehicle.
To activate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped). The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after about 30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and then
shuts off while the ignition is on, the security system has
detected a problem. See your dealer for service.
If a door is opened without the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter, or if the door key cylinders are
damaged, the alarm will go off. The exterior lamps will
flash and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will
go off in order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch while
the door is open, or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Avoid setting off the alarm by accident.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
pressing the button with the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm won't stop if
you try to unlock a door any other way.

3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to go out.

with the manual door lock and open the door.
