The theft-deterrent alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key.
If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
If a door or the hood is opened without first disarming the system, the turn signals will flash and the horn will sound for about

This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the vehicle is turned off.
The system is automatically disarmed when the ignition is turned from off to on.
The security light, in the instrument cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key. It may be necessary to check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers 0 253. If the engine still does not start with the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to learn new or replacement keys. Up to eight keys can be programmed for the vehicle. To program additional transmitters, see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 12.
Do not leave the transmitter or device that disarms or deactivates the vehicle theft-deterent system in the vehicle.
See your dealer to get a new key blank cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.
