Locks and Security Arming the system When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the turn signal lamps and will sound the horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system: • Press the control on the transmitter. When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that all doors, the hood and the liftgate are closed. If any of these are not closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a door, the hood or the liftgate is still open. • Press the driver or passenger power door lock control while the door is open, then close the door. • Press and hold the 7 • 8 and 9 • 0 controls on the keyless entry pad at the same time to lock the doors (driver's door must be closed). • Lock the door by turning the key in the door key cylinder. There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur before the vehicle becomes armed. Each door, the hood or the liftgate is armed individually, and if any are open, they must be closed for that entry point to enter the 20 second countdown. The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood or the liftgate are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the 20 second countdown. 167 2012 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
