THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 25 To arm the system: Remove the key from the ignition switch and either: 1. Press a power door lock switch while the driver's or passenger's door is open. 2. Press the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter. After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Theft Alarm Indicator light will flash.

NOTE: • The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the system. • Once the alarm is set, you have a 30 second one time access into the liftgate area.
