GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 13 CAUTION! T O A RM T HE S YSTEM If the condition which initiated the alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition and monitor the remaining doors and ignition. S ECURITY S YSTEM M ANUAL O VERRIDE An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. The Vehicle Security system will arm when you use the key fob to lock the doors. If a door or the hood is not properly shut, the alarm system will not be armed. T O D ISARM T HE S YSTEM NOTE:
When opening the driver’s door with the key in the ignition and the ignition placed in the STOP (OFF/ LOCK) position, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key. VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock. DOORS 2 Use the key fob to unlock the door and disarm the system. The Vehicle Security system will also disarm if a programmed Sentry Key is inserted into the ignition switch. To exit the alarm mode, push the key fob unlock button, or insert a programmed Sentry Key into the ignition switch.
P OWER D OOR L OCKS The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Vehicle Security system is activated, interior switches for door locks are disabled. The system provides both audible and visible signals. Every intrusion attempt causes six continuous alarm cycles. Every alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. For 26 seconds, the horn will sound, and the turn signal lights will flash. For four seconds, it will pause. After a maximum of 10 alarm cycles, only the turn signal lights will flash until the next alarm activation. The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your vehicle.
However, you can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security system will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system. R EARMING O F T HE S YSTEM Door Lock/Unlock Switch The doors can be locked or unlocked from inside the vehicle by using the door lock/unlock switch. If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle Security system will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of turn signal lights flashing. To lock the doors, push down on the switch.
To unlock the doors, pull up on the switch.
