20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 1. With the transmitter buttons facing down, use a thin coin or similar object to pry the two halves of the transmitter apart. Make sure not to damage the rubber gasket during removal. VEHICLE THEFT ALARM - IF EQUIPPED The system monitors the doors, trunk key cylinder, and ignition for unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for about 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights, park/turn signal lights, tail lights and the indicator light in the cluster will flash. Then the exterior lights will flash for another 15 minutes. If the monitored system which triggered the alarm is deactivated, the alarm will continue to sound until 3 minutes of alarm time is reached. If the monitored system which triggered the alarm is deactivated after the alarm has been on for 3 minutes, the alarm will shut off immediately. 2. Remove and replace the batteries. Avoid touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. To reassemble the transmitter case, snap two halves together. Make sure there is an even gap between the two halves. Test transmitter operation. To set the alarm: 1. Remove the keys from the ignition switch and get out of the vehicle. 2. Lock the door using either the door key, power door lock switch, or the Keyless Entry Transmitter and close all doors.
