Theft-Deterrent System Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent system. The theft-deterrent system will not arm when you lock the doors using the key or the manual door lock. It arms only when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter. Arming the System To arm the system, do the following: 1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and the trunk or liftgate. Ensure that the windows are closed, as the system can be armed even if the windows are open. 2. Turn the key to LOCK and remove the key from the ignition. If the key is inserted in the ignition, the transmitter will not arm the theft-deterrent system. • The security light (A) will flash once every second to indicate that the theft-deterrent system is armed. The security light is located on the secondary information center (SIC) on the center of the instrument panel. 2-14
