Dodge Charger: VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) / To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of the following methods:
- Push the unlock button on the key fob.
- Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door.
- Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the system.
NOTE:
- The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the key fob cannot
arm or disarm the Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key cylinder when
the system is armed will sound the alarm when the door is opened.
- If Passive Entry (if equipped) is used to unlock the trunk, the Vehicle
Security system is disarmed and the rest of the vehicle doors will remain locked
unless all doors are set to unlock on first press within Uconnect Settings.
- When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior power door lock
switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you
can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security system
will arm, regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected,
the Vehicle Security system will remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:
Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position.
Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
Push lock on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open...
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the Vehicle
Security system will turn the horn off after 29 seconds, five seconds between cycles,
and up to eight cycles if the trigger remains active...
