30 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM - IF EQUIPPED This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate, swing gate flip-up window, and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. The horn, headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash repeatedly for three minutes. If disturbance is still present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three minutes, the headlights and tail lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes. NOTE: The "Panic" and "Security" alarms are quite different. Please take a moment to activate the "Panic" and the "Security" modes to hear the differences in the horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will need to know which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it. To Set the Alarm The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors and swing gate or when you use the power door lock switch while the door is open. After all the doors are locked and closed, the "Sentry Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light" (located in the instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the system is arming. During this 16 second arming period, opening any door or the swing gate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully arms, the "Sentry Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light" will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set.
