Perimeter Alarm Activation

The perimeter alarm has a 12-second delay when the driver door is unlocked and opened using a key in the door lock cylinder. During the delay, a chime sounds. If the perimeter alarm is not disarmed within the 12-second delay, the alarm activates.

The perimeter alarm activates when:

• a front door is opened without first receiving an unlock command from a programmed RKE transmitter, and the 12-second delay has expired.
• a sliding door, the rear cargo door, the liftgate, or the hood is opened without first receiving an electronic unlock command from a programmed RKE transmitter.
• the ignition transitions to RUN without a valid PATS key read received.

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.
