Operating the Security System

Operating the Security System

Security System Operation:

The basic operation of the security system requires a single press of the transmitter that will cause the system to lock and arm the vehicle, or to unlock and disarm the vehicle.

Prior to locking and arming, the system emits a short chirp and flashes the side lights once. The system runs a self-test and the CPU is shut down to inhibit many of its functions. When the vehicle is unlocked and disarmed, the system emits two chirps and flashes the side lights twice. The CPU is taken out of shut down and the security system ceases to monitor for alarm violations. If the system detected a fault during the self-test, it will emit a third chirp and visual flash when disarmed.

Remote headlight convenience
Pressing the transmitter for a second time within three seconds of locking and arming will activate the headlight low beams for 25 seconds. Remote headlights are a standard feature.

Remote trunk release
Pressing the transmitter for a second time within three seconds of unlocking and disarming will activate the trunk release. Remote trunk release is a dealer-programmable convenience feature.

Remote panic alarm
A maintained press of the transmitter for six or more seconds (other than within three seconds of locking and arming) will activate the system panic alarm. This alarm is the same as the full alarm and will continue for five times the duration of the full alarm or until the ignition is switched to position I. Panic alarm is a standard feature. Panic alarm disable is dealer-programmable at the customer's option.
