Perimeter Alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against unauthorized access to your vehicle through the doors or the hood.
Interior Sensors (If Equipped)
The interior sensors are in the overhead console.
When you lock your vehicle and arm the alarm, the sensors are designed to detect any movement inside your vehicle.
Note:   Do not cover the interior sensors.
Inclination Sensors (If Equipped)
When you lock your vehicle and arm the alarm, the sensors are designed to detect an attempt to raise your vehicle, for example to remove a wheel or to tow it away.
Battery Back-up Sounder (If Equipped)
The battery back-up sounder is an additional alarm system that has its own battery and sounds a siren if the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder is disconnected. The system arms when you lock your vehicle.
Triggering the Alarm (If Equipped)
When armed, the alarm is triggered in any of the following ways:
  • If someone opens a door, the liftgate or the hood without a valid key or remote control.
  • If you switch the ignition on without a correctly coded key.
  • If the interior sensors detect movement inside your vehicle.
  • If the inclination sensors detect an attempt to raise your vehicle.
  • If someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn sounds for 30 seconds and the hazard flasher flashes for 5 minutes.
Any further attempts to carry out one of the above sounds the alarm again.
