2005 Buick Rendezvous Owner's Manual - Page 106

Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to enter the vehicle without using the optional remote keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the ignition on without using the correct key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash any time the alarm sounds. When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the liftgate may be opened by pressing the REAR button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm will go into standby mode. Once the liftgate is closed, the alarm will be armed. See "Liftgate Release" under Liftgate on page 2-11 for more information on how to open the liftgate. Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Your alarm system will arm when you press LOCK once on your remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors. The alarm system light will come on for 30 seconds and then start flashing to let you know the system is armed. Within the 30 second delay after the security light comes on, and an additional five seconds after the light begins to flash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened, without sounding the alarm. If LOCK is pressed on your remote keyless entry transmitter twice within five seconds, any door can be manually unlocked and opened within five seconds after the security light begins to flash, without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked until locked again. Arming with the Power Lock Switch The content theft-deterrent alarm system will arm when you use either power door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or the liftgate is open and the key is removed from the ignition. The security light, located on top of the instrument panel, will start flashing when the system is armed. Within five seconds, after the security light begins to flash, any door can be manually unlocked and opened, without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked until locked again. 2-16
