Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter The alarm system will arm when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors after the key is removed from the ignition. The red light will turn on to let you know the system is arming. After all doors are closed and locked, the red light will begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the system is armed. Disarming with the Key The alarm system will disarm when you use the key to unlock the doors. The red light will stop flashing to let you know the system is disarmed. If you would like the key to disarm the alarm system, see "Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index. Nuisance Alarms If you experience nuisance alarms (alarms which are not caused by the opening of a door and are not desired), you may need to reduce the damage detection sensitivity. Try programming the content theft-deterrent to Mode 1. If you continue to experience nuisance alarms, you may want to try turning off damage detection by programming the content theft-deterrent to Mode 2. If you are still having trouble with nuisance alarms, you can turn off the content theft-deterrent system by programming the content theft-deterrent to Mode 3. For more information on programming the content theft-deterrent modes, see "Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index. See the dealer or a qualified technician for service. Arming Confirmation If the remote unlock confirmation is on (see "Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index), the headlamps will flash briefly to let you know when the alarm system has armed. Disarming with the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter The alarm system will disarm when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors. The red light will stop flashing to let you know the system is disarmed. 2-26
