If forcible entry is attempted, the system sounds the horn and flashes the hazard warning lights. NOTE M How to Arm the System 1. Remove the ignition key. 2. Close the hood. Then close all doors and the liftgate and lock them from the outside using the key in the door. If you have the keyless entry system, press the LOCK button on the transmitter. The hazard warning lights will flash one time to indicate that the system is armed. The following method will also arm the theft-deterrent system: Close the hood. Press the area on the door-lock switch marked "DOOR LOCK" once. Close all doors and the liftgate. NOTE The theft-deterrent system operates without the keyless entry system transmitter, as well. The system won't function unless it's properly armed. So when you leave the vehicle, lock all the doors and the liftgate, close all the windows, take your key, your transmitter, and make sure the security indicator light is flashing. M Operation What turns it on: • Forcing open a door, the hood or the liftgate. • Opening a door or the hood by operating an inside door-lock button or the hood release handle. What it does: • The horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights flash. • The alarm continues for about 3 minutes, then stops. If the system is triggered again, the lights and horn will activate until a door or the liftgate is unlocked with the key or with the transmitter. Locking the doors with the inside door-lock button will not arm the system. 3. The indicator light flashes once every 3 seconds to indicate that the system is fully armed. It continues to flash until the theft-deterrent system is turned off. 3-29 Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
