Chrysler 2005 Town and Country manual Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle

28 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To arm the system: Remove the key from the ignition switch and either:

1.Press a power door lock button while the driver’s or passenger’s door is open.

2.Press the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmit- ter.

After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Theft Alarm/Immobilizer light will flash. If it does not illuminate, the system is not arming. If you open a door during this arming period, the system will cancel the arming process. You must repeat one of the previously described arming sequences to rearm the system.

To disarm the system: Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter. Also, using a valid sentry key and moving the ignition switch to the ON/START posi- tion will disarm the system. If you disarm the system and access the liftgate area, the system must be rearmed, as described previously, when closing the liftgate. If some- thing has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you disarm the system. Check the vehicle for tampering.

NOTE:

•The driver’s door and liftgate key cylinders cannot arm or disarm the system.

•Once the alarm is set, and the liftgate button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed, on a non-power liftgate vehicle, you have a 30 second one time access into the liftgate area. If the liftgate is not opened within 30 seconds the liftgate will remain locked.
