Triggering the Alarm
Once 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 someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
• If you switch the ignition on without a
valid key.
• If the interior sensors detect movement
within your vehicle.
• On vehicles with a battery back-up
sounder, if someone disconnects your
vehicle battery or the battery back-up
sounder itself.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
Full and Reduced Guard
Full Guard
Full guard is the standard setting.
In full guard, the interior sensors are on
when you arm the alarm.
Note: This may result in false alarms if
animals or moving objects are inside your
vehicle.
Reduced Guard
In reduced guard, the interior sensors are
off when you arm the alarm.
Note: You can set the alarm to reduced
guard for the current ignition cycle only. The
alarm will reset to full guard the next time
you switch the ignition on.
Ask on Exit (If Equipped)
You can set the information display to ask
you each time which level of guard you
wish to set.
If you select Ask on Exit, the message
Reduced guard? appears in the
information display each time you switch
the ignition off. See Information
Messages (page 66).
If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced
guard, press the OK button when this
message appears.
If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard,
leave your vehicle without pressing the OK
button.
Selecting Full or Reduced Guard
Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the
alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets
it to reduced guard only for the current
ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm
to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.
You can select full or reduced guard using
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 66).
Arming the Alarm
To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See
Locks (page 34).
Disarming the Alarm
Vehicles Without Keyless Entry
Perimeter Alarm
Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on with a correctly coded key or
unlocking the doors with the remote
control.
