If forcible entry is attempted, the system sounds the horn and flashes the hazard warning lights and headlights. It also makes the starter inoperable. NOTE What it does: • The horn sounds intermittently and the hazard warning lights and headlights flash. • The starter is bypassed so that the engine can't be started. • The alarm continues for about 3 minutes, then stops. If the system is triggered again, the lights and horn will activate and the starter will not work until a door or the trunk lid is unlocked with the key or with the transmitter. The theft-deterrent system operates without the keyless entry system transmitter, as well. The system won't function unless it's properly armed. So when you leave the vehicle, lock all the doors, close all the windows, take your key, your transmitter, and make sure the security indicator light is flashing. M How to Arm the System 1. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 2. Close the hood and the trunk lid. Then close all doors and lock them from the outside using the key in the door. If you have the keyless entry system, press the LOCK button on the transmitter. 3. The indicator light comes on for about 10 seconds. Then it flashes once every 3 seconds to indicate that the system is fully armed. It continues to flash until the theft-deterrent system is turned off. M Operation What turns it on: • Forcing open a door, the hood or the trunk lid. • Unlocking the driver's door with the inside door-lock button or door-lock switch. • Opening a front or rear passenger's door , the hood or the trunk lid by operating an inside door-lock button , the hood release handle or the trunk lid release button. 3-20 Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
