Locks and Security • Press the 7 • 8 and 9 • 0 controls on the keyless entry pad at the same time to lock the doors (driver's door must be closed). There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur before the vehicle becomes armed. Each door, the hood, and the trunk is armed individually, and if any are open, they must be closed before the open entry point (door, hood, or trunk) can enter the 20 second countdown. The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood and the trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the 20 second countdown. Disarming the system You can disarm the system by any of the following actions: • Unlock the doors by using the remote entry transmitter portion of your Integrated Keyhead Transmitter. • Unlock the doors by using your keyless entry pad. • Unlock the driver's door with a key. Turn the key full rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms. • Turn ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a valid SecuriLock™ key or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT). • Press the panic control on the remote entry transmitter portion of your IKT. This will only shut off the horn and turn lamps when the alarm is sounding. The alarm system will still be armed. Pressing the power door UNLOCK control within the 20 second prearmed mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state. Triggering the anti-theft system The armed system will be triggered if: • Any door, the hood or the liftgate is opened without using the door key, keypad or the remote entry transmitter portion of your IKT. • The ignition is turned to the 3 (ON) position with an invalid SecuriLock™ key or IKT. 141 2008 Sable (mgo) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
