THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19 Rearming of the System: If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the system will turn off the horn after 3 minutes, turn off all of the visual signals after 15 minutes, and then the system will rearm itself. To Arm the System: 1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and exit the vehicle. 2. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the power door lock switch or the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. NOTE: The system will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock plungers or the driver's door lock cylinder. 3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the system is arming. During this period, opening any door or the liftgate will cancel the arming process. If the system arms successfully, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set. NOTE: For added security, whenever the Security Alarm is armed, the HomeLink /Garage Door Opener (if equipped) is disabled as well. To Disarm the System: Either press the Unlock button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid sentry key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the ON position. NOTE: • Unlocking the doors with the manual door lock plungers or the driver's door lock cylinder will not disarm the system. • When the system is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors. 2
