Parking Lots Even if you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and take your key. But what if you have to leave your key? What if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle? While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power door lock switch. Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to open one of the doors on the vehicle without the remote keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries to turn the ignition without using the correct key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash anytime the alarm sounds. If you would like to change the way the headlamps, parking lamps and horn operate with the content theft-deterrent system, see "Vehicle Customization" in the Index. If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information Center (DIC), see "Driver Information Center" in the Index. When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the liftgate/tailgate may be opened by using one of the following methods: D Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box. D If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system, take the transmitter with you. D Lock all the doors except the driver's. Content Theft-Deterrent (Option) If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent alarm system. A light located on top of the instrument panel (near the center of the vehicle, next to the windshield) will flash slowly to let you know that the system has been armed. D From the outside, insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise, or transmitter. D press REAR on the optional remote keyless entry When the content theft-deterrent system is armed, pressing the liftgate release button, located on the instrument panel switchbank, will cause the alarm to sound. 2-23
