Arming the Alarm System
The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key.
If the driver door or liftgate is opened without first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate a pre-alarm.
If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing
on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
The alarm will also be activated if the passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is opened without first disarming the system. When the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.
