Locks and Security If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle's engine and the theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM The perimeter anti-theft system will help protect your vehicle doors, hood and trunk from unauthorized entry. When the vehicle is armed the power door locks and remote trunk release control are disabled. These will not work until the vehicle is disarmed. If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are brought to the dealership, to aid in troubleshooting. 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. 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. 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 driver's door by using your key. • Turn ignition to RUN. 114
