Theft-Deterrent Systems Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. Content Theft-Deterrent Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm system. Active Arming: The system will arm when the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed. The security system light will come on steady for thirty seconds. During this time you can still get back into the vehicle without triggering the alarm. Once the light starts flashing the system is armed. The system will disarm when the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed. Passive Arming: The system will arm itself one minute after the ignition is turned off and the driver's door has been opened and closed. If the lock button on the transmitter is pressed before the minute has passed, the system will arm immediately. The system will disarm when the unlock button is pressed. Security System Disable: The system will not arm. The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to arm/disarm the content theft-deterrent system. See Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-4. Your vehicle's theft-deterrent system can be programmed to three different modes. 2-13
