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 deactivate the 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. alarm will sound if the trunk lock is forced, or the trunk is opened with the trunk release button on the driver's door or the emergency trunk opener. The security system does not set if any door, the trunk, or hood is not fully closed. Before you leave the vehicle, make sure the doors, trunk and hood are securely closed. SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR Features Once the security system sets, opening any door, the trunk, or hood without using the built-in key or the keyless access remote, will cause the alarm to activate. It also activates if the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position, the audio unit is removed from the dashboard, or the wiring is cut. With the system set, you can still open the trunk with the remote without triggering the alarm. The To see if the system sets after you exit the vehicle, press the LOCK button on the keyless access remote within five seconds. If the system is set, the horn will beep once. Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. 315
