Parking at Night Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them with you. Content Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System (Option) If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent alarm system. Once armed, the system will sound the horn and flash the parking lamps if the vehicle is broken into. Parking Lots Even if you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition key? Arming the System The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by locking your vehicle with the remote keyless entry transmitter or by locking the doors with the power door lock switch. Passive arming is also available if you would like the system to arm all by itself after the doors have been closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red light located on top of the instrument panel will flash briefly once every two seconds. If you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing two brief flashes every two seconds, the system is armed and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm. If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds, the system is armed and there was an intrusion that sounded the alarm. Horn chirps and parking lamp flashes can be customized to your preference. See "Feature Customization" in the Index. D If possible, park in a busy, well-lit area.
