Vehicle security system
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors, hood, tailgate, and the ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security system is armed, interior switches for door locks 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
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.
○ For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
○ For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure the vehicle ignition is OFF and the key fob is physically removed from the ignition.
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 ⇒ Doors.
○ Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors 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 ⇒ Doors.
● Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the system.
○ For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Ignition, push the START/STOP ignition button (requires at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).
○ For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, insert a valid key fob into the ignition switch and turn the key to the ON/ RUN position.
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.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system will rearm itself after 15 minutes if the system has not been disabled. 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 system will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock.
