2-14 Keys, Doors, and Windows Arming the System To arm the system, press Q on the RKE transmitter, or open the door and lock the door with the power door lock switch. The security light should flash. Remove the RKE transmitter from inside the vehicle and close the door. The security light stops flashing and stays on. After 30 seconds, the light should turn off. The vehicle can be programmed to automatically lock the doors and arm the theft-deterrent system when you exit the vehicle. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑54. If a door or the hatch/trunk is opened without using the RKE transmitter, the alarm goes off. The horn sounds for two minutes, then goes off to save battery power. The vehicle will not start without a RKE transmitter present. The theft-deterrent system does not arm if the driver door is locked with the power door lock switch after the doors are closed. If the RKE transmitter is removed from the vehicle while a passenger is in it, have them lock the doors after they are closed. The alarm will not arm, so the passenger will not set it off. Vehicle Security This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make it impossible to steal. Anti-theft Alarm System This vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system. Testing the Alarm To test the system use the following procedure. 1. Make sure the trunk lid/hatch is latched. 2. Lower the window on the driver door. 3. Manually arm the system. 4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds. The security light flashes if a door is open and locked with the power door lock switch. If this light stays on while the engine is running, the vehicle needs service.
