2-12 Keys, Doors, and Windows Notice: Do not use the emergency trunk release handle as a tie-down or anchor point when securing items in the trunk as it could damage the handle. The emergency trunk release handle is only intended to aid a person trapped in a latched trunk, enabling them to open the trunk from the inside. There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release handle located on the rear wall of the trunk below the latch. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle down to open the trunk from the inside. Vehicle Security This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal. 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 5‑52. 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. Vehicle Alarm System This vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system. 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.
