NOTE
•
The theft-deterrent system operates
with the key or the keyless entry

The system will not function unless
it is properly armed. To properly
secure the vehicle, always make
sure all the windows are completely
closed and all doors and the liftgate
are locked before leaving the
vehicle. Remember to take your key
and transmitter.

Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock knob will not arm the
system.
