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 when the system is disarmed. If you would like the key to disarm the alarm system, see "Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index. PASS-KeyR III 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. Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key III (Personalized Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key III is a passive theft-deterrent system. This means you don't have to do anything different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove the key from the ignition. Your PASS-Key III system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada. 2-28
