Disarming the System To disarm the system, do one of the following: How to Turn Off the System Alarm To turn off the system alarm: • Press the RKE transmitter unlock button. • Turn the ignition to ON/RUN. Once the system is disarmed, the security light will stop flashing. • Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter. The system will then re-arm itself. • Press the unlock button on the RKE transmitter. This will also disarm the system. How the System Alarm is Activated To activate the system if it is armed: • Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This will also disarm the system. • Open the driver's door or trunk. A ten second pre-alarm chirp will sound followed by a thirty second full alarm of horn and lights. How to Detect a Tamper Condition If three chirps are heard when the unlock or lock button is pressed on the RKE transmitter, it means that the content theft security system alarm was previously triggered. • Open any other door. A full alarm of horn and lights will immediately sound for thirty seconds. • Open the hood. If the vehicle has the remote start feature, it will activate the full alarm. When an alarm event has finished, the system will re-arm itself automatically. 3-19
