GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE SECURITY
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, trunk, and the keyless push button
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also
monitors movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed,
interior switches for door locks and trunk release
are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle
with the key fob and lock the doors.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in
the OFF position.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button 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 valid key
fob available in the same exterior zone

• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or trunk lid) are open, close
them.
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

page 26.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and trunk button
on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key
cylinder when the system is armed will sound
the alarm when the door is opened.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system 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 Security
system 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 Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
NOTE:
The alarm does not disarm when the doors are
unlocked by inserting the blade of the emergency
key (found inside the key fob) into the door
handle lock cylinder.
