20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for about 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the park, tail and fog lights will flash. If the condition which triggered the alarm is still present, the park, tail and fog lights will continue to flash for 15 minutes, unless the trigger condition is cleared sooner. NOTE: The engine will not start until the system is disarmed. To Arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm System There are two methods to arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm system: 1. Press the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry. The optical and audible horn chirp will sound if it is enabled. (See Remote Keyless Entry section of this manual) 2. Remove the keys from the ignition and, with the door open, press the Lock button on the door trim panel and close the door. 3. After the last door is closed, the security light will flash for 15 seconds. If there is a fault in the system or if the hood or trunk is not closed, the Vehicle Theft Alarm lamp will remain ON steady for 15 seconds until the system is armed. (See the dealer if the system is faulted) The arming sequence will cancel if the door is opened or the ignition is turned on. Opening the hood or trunk will not cancel the arming process.
