VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors, hood, tailgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for unauthorized operation. While The vehicle Security system is armed, and interior switches for door locks and tailgate release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security system will provide the following audible and visible signals:

• The horn will pulse
• The turn signals will flash
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash

TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position.
   • For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
   • Push the lock button on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
   • Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry door handles with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone Ú page 30.

• Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door Ú page 30.
• Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the system.

NOTE:

• The driver’s door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key cylinder when the system is armed will sound the alarm when the door is opened.
• The Vehicle Security system remains armed when the power tailgate (if equipped) is opened using the tailgate button on the key fob.
