Content Theft-Deterrent Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm system. To activate the theft-deterrent system, do the following: 1. Open the door. 2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The security light will come on to inform the driver the system is arming. If a door is open when the doors are locked, the security light will flash. 3. Close all doors. The security light should go off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until the security light goes off. If the delayed locking feature is turned on, the theft-deterrent system will not start the arming process until the last door is closed and the delay timer has expired. See Delayed Locking on page 101. The content theft deterrent system does not sense if the midgate is open or ajar, therefore, vehicle contents may not be protected if the midgate is left open or ajar. If a locked door is opened without the key or the RKE transmitter, a ten second pre-alarm will occur. The horn will chirp and the lights will flash. If the door is not unlocked using the key or by pressing the unlock button on the RKE transmitter during the ten second pre-alarm, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power. You can choose different feedback options for the alarm. See DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 279. 117
