Deterrent System (Option)
If the ignition is off 
and a door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash
to remind you to activate
the system.
To arm the system do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.
The horn will sound and the headlamps will flash for
several minutes when the door or trunk is opened
without the key or remote keyless entry transmitter. 
The horn also sounds if the locks are damaged.
