Keys, Doors, and Windows 2-17 Vehicle Security This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal. Fast Flash: Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the hood, or the liftgate is open. Slow Flash: Alarm system is armed. The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key. If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated. The alarm will also be activated if a passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is opened without first disarming the system. When the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.
