VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors and
ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is activated, interior switches for door locks are
disabled. The system provides both audible and visible
signals. Every intrusion attempt causes six continuous alarm
cycles. Every alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. For 26 seconds,
the horn will sound, and the turn signal lights will flash. For
four seconds, it will pause. After a maximum of 10 alarm
cycles, only the turn signal lights will flash until the next
alarm activation.
To Arm The System
To arm the system, the Vehicle Security Alarm will set when
you use the key fob to lock the doors. If a door or the hood is
not properly shut, the alarm system will not be armed.
To Disarm The System
Use the key fob to unlock the door and disarm the system.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if a
programmed Sentry Key is inserted into the ignition switch.
To exit the alarm mode, push the key fob unlock button, or
insert a programmed Sentry Key into the ignition switch.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 previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Secu-
rity 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 Secu-
rity Alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of
turn lamps flashing. If the condition which initiated the
alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition
and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
Security System Manual Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm/disarm if you lock/
unlock the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
