Security System The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking/side marker lights, and taillights flash if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the audio unit. This alarm continues for 2 minutes, then the system resets. To reset an activated system before the 2 minutes have elapsed, unlock either front door with the remote or the built-in key. The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, close the hood, and close the trunk. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors from the outside with the remote, built-in key, lock tab, or master door lock switch. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself. the trunk release button on the driver's door or the emergency trunk opener. The security system will not set if the hood, trunk, or any door is not fully closed. If the system will not set, check the Door and Trunk Open monitor on the instrument panel (see page 13 ) to see if the doors and trunk are fully closed. Since it is not part of the monitor display, manually check the hood. NOTE: Use the keyless access remote to quickly check that the hood, the trunk, and all doors are closed. Push the lock button twice within 5 seconds. There should be an audible confirmation beep. Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Features SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR Once the security system is set, opening any door or the hood without using the built-in key or the remote will cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the audio unit is removed from the dashboard or the audio system wiring is cut. With the system set, you can still open the trunk with the remote without triggering the alarm. The alarm will sound if the trunk lock is forced, or the trunk is opened with 315
