18 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

TAMPER ALERT

If something has triggered the Vehicle Security system in

your absence, the horn will sound three times and the

exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the

Vehicle Security system.

DELUXE VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —

IF EQUIPPED

The Deluxe Vehicle Security system monitors the doors,

hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the

ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system

also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and vehicle

tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle

interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the

vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry

transport, etc.).

If a perimeter violation triggers the security system, the

horn will sound for 29 seconds and the exterior lights will

flash followed by approximately five seconds of no activity.

This will continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to

disarm the system.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to arm the security system:

1. If any doors, windows, or the sunroof (if equipped)

are open, close them.

2. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF.

3. Perform one of the following methods to lock the

vehicle:

 Push lock on the interior power door lock switch

with the driver and/or passenger door open.

 Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry

door handle with a key fob available in the same

exterior zone

Ú page 20.

 Push the lock button on the key fob.

NOTE:

 When armed, the interior motion sensor detects move-

ment within the vehicle's interior, including moving

objects (i.e. people and pets) and air currents through

open windows or the sunroof. The windows and

sunroof should be closed, and moving objects should

not be left in the vehicle when the intrusion detection

is armed, otherwise false alarms can occur.

 Once the security system is armed, it remains in that

state until you disarm it by following either of the

disarming procedures described. If a power loss occurs

after arming the system, you must disarm the system

after restoring power to prevent alarm activation.

 The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector)

actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm the

Vehicle Security system. If you prefer, you can turn off

the ultrasonic intrusion sensor when arming the

Vehicle Security system. To do so, push the lock button

on the key fob three times within 15 seconds of arming

the system (while the Vehicle Security Light is flashing

rapidly). The vehicle will remain locked but will disable

the alarm in the case of repeated false alarms due to

ambient conditions.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of

the following methods:

 Push the unlock button on the key fob.

 Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door

Ú page 20.

 Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position

by pushing the START/STOP ignition button (requires at

least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

NOTE:

 The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on

the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security

system.

 The Vehicle Security system remains armed during

power trunk entry. If a valid key fob or Passive Entry is

used to open the trunk, the motion sensing will be

suppressed until after the trunk is closed. If someone

enters the opened vehicle through the trunk, then

opens any door, the alarm will sound.

 When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior

power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
