Arming and disarming the alarm
Arming the alarm
- pressing the lock button on the remote key
- touch the marked surface on the outside of the door handle or the rubberized pressure plate on the tailgate1.
If the vehicle is equipped with both keyless locking/unlocking* and power tailgate*, the button on the lower edge of the tailgate can also be used to lock and arm the vehicle.
Disarming the alarm
- pressing the unlock button on the remote key
- grip a door handle or press the tailgate's rubberized pressure plate1.
Disarming the alarm without a functioning remote key
The vehicle can be unlocked and disarmed even if the remote key is not functioning, e.g. if the battery is discharged.
Turn the start knob clockwise and release.
Turning off a triggered alarm
Press the unlock button on the remote key or put the ignition into mode I by turning the start knob clockwise and then releasing it.
Note
- Remember that the alarm is armed when the vehicle is locked.
- The alarm will be triggered if any of the doors is opened from the inside.
Automatically arming and disarming the alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarm protection.
If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the doors or tailgate are opened within two minutes, the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehicle will also re-lock.
On some markets, the alarm will be automatically armed following a slight delay after the driver's door has been opened and closed without being locked.
