VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM

the vehicle security alarm will automatically disarm.

After approximately three seconds, the vehicle security

light will flash. This shows that the vehicle security

alarm is fully armed.

The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors for

unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthor-

ized operation. While the vehicle security alarm is armed,

interior switches for door locks and liftgate release are

disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle

security alarm will provide the following audible and

visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or

turn signals will flash, and the vehicle security light on the

instrument panel will flash.

The activation of the vehicle security alarm is followed by

a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the

self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.

If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors, hood

and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the system.

If the vehicle security alarm sounds the horn a second time

even when all doors, hood and liftgate are correctly closed,

a fault has occurred in the operation of the system. Contact

an authorized dealer.

To Arm The System

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out of

the vehicle.

To Disarm The System

2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock

switch or the Remote Keyless Entry key fob and close all

doors.

Push unlock on the key fob, or insert the key into the

ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON/

RUN position.

3. The horn will sound and the vehicle security light in the

instrument cluster will switch on for approximately

three seconds. This shows that the vehicle security

alarm is about to arm. During this period, if a door is

opened, the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN, or

the power door locks are unlocked in any manner,

NOTE: The vehicle security alarm will not disarm when

the metal insert of the key is used on a single door lock

cylinder.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 23

The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your

vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the

vehicle security alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you remain

in the vehicle and lock the doors with the key fob, once the

vehicle security alarm is armed, when you pull the door

handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, push the

unlock button on the key fob to disarm the vehicle security

alarm.

Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) —

If Equipped

This safety device prevents the operation of the interior

door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.

Safe Lock Device Location

It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the

passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to break-in

attempts (e.g. broken window).

Activating The Safe Lock Device

The Safe Lock device is enabled on all the doors by quickly

double-pushing the lock button on the key fob.

We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock device each

time you park your car.

The direction indicators flash three times and the LED

above the button flashes to indicate that the Safe Lock

device has been activated. If one or more of the doors are

not closed correctly, the Safe Lock device will not activate,

preventing a person from getting stuck inside the passen-

ger compartment by entering the car through, and then

closing, the open door.

Deactivating The Safe Lock Device

The Safe Lock device deactivates automatically:

1. By pushing the unlock button on the key fob.

2. By turning the ignition key to the MAR position.

DOORS

Manual Lock

To lock each door from the inside, push the inside door

handle toward the door until the red lock indicator is

visible. To unlock the doors from the inside, pull the inside

door handle to the first detent or until the lock symbol is no

longer visible.

Manual Lock/Unlock Switch

NOTE: The manual lock knob unlocks each individual

door separately.

If the lock symbol is visible when the door is shut, the door

will lock. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside the

vehicle before closing the door.

• When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob

from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
