Arming and Disarming the Content Theft-Deterrent System To arm or disarm the content theft-deterrent system, the system must be turned on by using Modes 1, 2, or 4 listed previously. This feature allows you to customize the arming and disarming of the content-theft deterrent system. Mode 2: Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Arm/Disarm Only • The system will arm when you lock the doors with your remote keyless entry transmitter. The key must be removed from the ignition when you lock the doors or the content theft-deterrent system will not arm. • The system will disarm when you unlock the doors with your remote keyless entry transmitter. While this mode provides increased security, it can be a problem if your remote keyless entry transmitter is damaged, lost, or if it fails to operate for any reason while the content theft-deterrent system is armed. The content theft-deterrent system must be disarmed for the engine to run while in Mode 2; your key can no longer disarm the system. If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar® system, OnStar® will not be able to remotely unlock your vehicle if it has been programmed to Mode 2. Programmable Modes Mode 1: Power Door Lock Switch Arming Off • The system will arm when you lock the doors with your key or remote keyless entry transmitter. The key must be removed from the ignition when you lock the doors or the content theft-deterrent system will not arm. • The system will disarm when you unlock the doors with your key or remote keyless entry transmitter. 2-67
