Perimeter Alarm Warning Chime

The perimeter alarm warning chime is used to alert the driver that the perimeter alarm is armed when the driver door is unlocked with a key. The warning chime is only functional when a key is used to unlock the driver door. If the key fob or keypad (if equipped) is used to unlock the door, the perimeter alarm is disarmed and the warning chime does not sound. The warning chime sounds for 12 seconds when the driver door is opened and turns off when the perimeter alarm is disarmed (either by using the key fob, keypad or turning the key to the ON position). After the 12-second warning chime duration, the warning chime stops sounding and the perimeter alarm activates, sounding the horn and flashing the turn signal lights.

NOTE: The perimeter alarm takes approximately 25 seconds to fully arm once the driver has locked the doors using the key fob or keypad.
