If forcible entry is attempted, the system sounds the horn and flashes the hazard warning lights and headlights. NOTE What it does: • The horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights and headlights flash. • The alarm continues for about 3 minutes, then stops. When it is triggered, the warning lights and horn will activate. They will shut off when: • The doors are unlocked with the keyless entry system transmitter. • The trunk lid is opened with the key or the keyless entry system transmitter. • The ignition is turned to the ON position. The theft-deterrent system has been designed to operate mainly with the keyless entry system transmitter. The system won't function unless it's properly armed. So when you leave the vehicle, lock all the doors, close all the windows, take your key, your transmitter, and make sure the security indicator light is flashing. M How to Arm the System 1.
