NOTE: The factory installed Remote Entry System has a PANIC feature that also chirps the vehicle horn and flashes the interior/exterior lamps when the PANIC button on the remote entry transmitter is pushed. The PANIC alarm and the Anti-Theft alarm are two separate features. Both the anti-theft alarm and the PANIC feature can be active at the same time. To tell the difference between a PANIC alarm anct a triggered Anti-Theft alarm: only the Anti-Theft alarm will cause the alarm indicator light (located in the center of the instrument cluster) to flash on and off. only the Anti-Theft alarm will prevent the engine from starting. For more information on the PANIC alarm, see Remote Entry System in the Index. Arming the system To arm the system, do the following four steps in sequence. 1. Remove the key from the ignition. 2. Open any door. The alarm indicator light will start flashing to remind you to arm the system. 3. Lock the doors by using the power door lock switch, pressing the remote entry transmitter LOCK button or pressing the last two buttons (7/8, 9/0) of the keyless entry keypad. The alarm indicator will now glow steadily. 4. Close all doors. The alarm indicator light will then remain on steadily for approximately 30 more seconds and then go out. When the light goes out the system is armed. 109
