Theft-Deterrent Systems Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. Arming the System To arm the system, do the following: 1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and remove it. 2. Close and lock all doors and liftgate with the key or remote keyless entry transmitter. The indicator light located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel will come on when all doors and liftgate are closed and locked. Content Theft-Deterrent If your vehicle has this feature, the theft-deterrent system is designed to activate an alarm if any of the side doors or the liftgate is forcibly unlocked or if the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected while the system is set. The alarm will sound the horn intermittently and flash the headlamps, turn signal lamps and interior lights. If the driver's or front passenger's side doors are unlocked forcibly, the other side doors and the liftgate will be locked automatically. The system will be automatically set after 30 seconds. When the system is set, the indicator light will start flashing. 3. After the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle. Do not leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking the vehicle from the inside will activate the system. 2-15
