Alarm
The alarm emits sound and light signals if anyone without a valid key breaks into the vehicle, attempts to steal a tire or tow away the vehicle, or interferes with the vehicle's battery or alarm siren.
Alarm indicator
A red indicator light on the dashboard shows the status of the alarm:
- Indicator off - the alarm is disarmed.
- Indicator flashes once every two seconds - the alarm is armed.
- The diode flashes rapidly after the vehicle is unlocked – the alarm has been triggered.
When armed, the alarm will be triggered if:
- the hood, tailgate or any door is opened
- the battery is disconnected
- the alarm siren is disconnected.
Alarm signals
The following occurs if the alarm is triggered:
- A siren will sound for 30 seconds or until the alarm is turned off.
- The hazard warning flashers will flash for 5 minutes or until the alarm is turned off.
If the reason the alarm was triggered is not rectified, the alarm cycle will repeat up to 10 times1.
