Controls and features Theft indicator When the perimeter alarm is armed, the theft indicator on the instrument panel will flash briefly every two seconds to indicate the perimeter alarm system is protecting your vehicle. Arming the system When armed, the perimeter alarm will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the turn signal lamps and the theft indicator lamp and will sound the horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any of the following actions will arm the alarm system: • Press the remote transmitter lock control. • Open a door and press the power door lock control. • Lock all doors with the key. The system will wait 20 seconds after one of the arming actions is performed before allowing an alarm to go off. Disarming the system You can disarm the system by any of the following actions: • Unlock the doors by using your remote entry transmitter. • Unlock the doors by using your key. • Turn ignition to RUN. SECURILOCKி PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key reprogramming. This system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle's engine can only be started with the two coded keys provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the coded key is read by the anti-theft system. If the key identification code matches the code stored in the anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to start. If the key identification code does not match the code stored in the system or if a coded key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the vehicle's engine will not operate. 107
