Arming the system
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. To arm the system, do one of the following:
• Press the control on the remote entry transmitter.
Note: If you press the control
twice on the remote entry
transmitter within three seconds, the horn will chirp once to let you
know that all doors, the hood and the liftgate/trunk are closed. If any
of these are not closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that
they are still open.
• Press the driver or passenger interior door lock control
while a
front door is open, then close the door.
• Lock the doors using the intelligent access method (press the lock
area in either front door handle).
• Press and hold the 7 • 8 and 9 • 0 controls together on the keyless
entry pad to lock the doors (driver’s door must be closed).
After locking the doors using any of the methods above, the turn signal lamps will flash once indicating that the perimeter alarm is in the pre-armed mode and will become fully armed in 20 seconds.
When fully armed (after the 20 second pre-arm mode), any IA keys found inside the vehicle are disabled/inoperable and will not start the engine. Press button to re-enable them.
Disarming the system
To disarm the system, do any of the following:
• Pressing the power door unlock control within the 20-second,
pre-armed mode will disarm the system.
• Unlock the doors by pressing unlock
on the remote entry
transmitter.
• Unlock the doors by using your keyless entry pad.
• Enter the vehicle using intelligent access.
• Press the panic control on the
remote entry transmitter. The alarm
system will still be armed, but this shuts off the horn and turn lamps
when the alarm is sounding.
• Unlock the doors using a key. If you use this method the system will
not disarm, but you will have an opportunity to disarm the vehicle
once entered. See the Note following.
Note: If the driver’s door is unlocked with a key, a chime will sound when you open the door and the message center will display TO STOP ALARM START VEHICLE. When this occurs, you will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the actions above, otherwise the alarm will trigger.
Perimeter alarm issues
If there seems to be a potential perimeter alarm system problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL keys/remote entry transmitters are brought to your authorized dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
