Disarming the Security Alarm

The vehicle security system can be disarmed using any of the following methods:

• Press the unlock button on the key fob.
• Grasp the Passive Entry door handle (if equipped).
• Turn the ignition off from the OFF position.

NOTE:

• The driver door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the vehicle security system.
• When the vehicle security system is armed, the power door lock switches on the interior will not unlock the doors.

The vehicle security system is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you can create conditions that cause the system to give a false alarm. If any of the arming sequences described previously are performed, 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.

If the vehicle security system is armed and the battery is disconnected, the vehicle security system will remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle security system.

Resetting the System

If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken to deactivate it, the vehicle security system will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, with 5 seconds between cycles, for up to 8 cycles if the trigger remains active, and then the security system will re-arm.
