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 and "TO STOP ALARM START VEHICLE" is displayed in the message center. If the perimeter alarm is not disarmed within the 12-second delay, the alarm activates.

The perimeter alarm activates when:

• the driver door is opened without first receiving an unlock command from a RKE transmitter, keyless entry keypad or IA command, and the 12-second delay has expired.
• any passenger door, luggage compartment lid, or the hood is opened without first receiving an electronic unlock command from a RKE transmitter, keyless entry keypad or IA command.

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.
