To avoid activating the alarm by accident, do one of the following: • Unlock the driver's or passenger's front door using the key. • Press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way will activate the alarm when a door or the trunk or liftgate is opened. If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent system, lock the vehicle using the key or the manual door locks. How the System Alarm is Activated If a door or the trunk or liftgate is opened without using the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps will flash for up to 30 seconds. How to Turn Off the System Alarm If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated using one of the following methods: • Press the lock or unlock buttons on the remote keyless entry transmitter. Disarming the System To disarm the system, do one of the following: • Unlock the driver's or passenger's front door using the key. • Press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. − The LED on the transmitter will flash once. − All of the doors will unlock. − The hazard warning lamps will flash twice. − The theft-deterrent mode will disarm. If the door is not opened or if the engine is not started within 30 seconds after disarming the system using the transmitter, all of the doors will automatically lock and the theft-deterrent mode will rearm. • Unlock the driver's or passenger's front door using the key. Otherwise, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds. The system will then lock the doors and rearm the theft-deterrent system. How to Detect a Tamper Condition If the hazard warning lamps flash once when you press the lock or unlock buttons on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the theft-deterrent system alarm was activated while you were away. 2-16
