The perimeter anti-theft alarm system consists of the following:
- Door ajar input
- Door lock control switch input
- Hood switch
- Horn
- Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key
- Keyless entry keypad
- Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key read
- Turn signals
- Body Control Module (BCM)
The perimeter alarm system protects the vehicle from unauthorized entry by sounding the horn and flashing both the turn signals and courtesy lights when an unauthorized entry occurs. The horn and lights are active for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the horn stops sounding, but the lights continue to flash for up to 5 minutes.
The perimeter alarm only activates 10 times per arming cycle. After that the alarm does not activate. To enable the perimeter alarm again, disarm the perimeter alarm and then arm it again.
