GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 23
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grasp the Passive Entry door handle to
unlock the door. Refer to “Doors” in this
chapter for further information.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF mode to
disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the lift-
gate button will not disarm the vehicle secu-
rity alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
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 security
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 security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm 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 alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will
turn the horn off after approximately 90 seconds,
and then the vehicle security alarm will rearm
itself.
Security System Manual Override
The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock.
DOORS
Manual Door Locks
To lock each door, rotate the door lock knob on
each door trim panel forward until the lock
indicator is shown. To unlock the front doors,
pull the inside door handle to the first detent or
rotate the door lock button until the lock
indicator is hidden. To unlock the rear doors,
rotate the door lock button until the lock
indicator is hidden.
If the door lock button is locked (lock indicator
visible) when you shut the door, the door will
remain locked. Therefore, make sure the key
fob is not inside the vehicle before closing the
door.
NOTE:
The manual door locks will not lock or unlock
the liftgate.
