General Information

To Arm The System

The following regulatory statement applies to all radio

frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:

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

the vehicle.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and

with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

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

switch or the Remote Keyless Entry key fob and close all

doors.

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

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, 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.

2. This device must accept any interference received, includ-

ing interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM

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.

22 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.

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.

To Disarm The System

It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the

passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to break-in

attempts (e.g. broken window).

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

ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON/

RUN position.

We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock device each

time you park your car.

NOTE: The vehicle security alarm will not disarm when

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

cylinder.

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.
