Activating Theft Deterrent

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To arm the theft deterrent feature, perform the following:

  1. Turn the ignition ON. Radio OFF.
  2. Press and hold preset buttons 5 and 6, at the same time, for 5 seconds. The radio will display "- - - -".
  3. Have the customer select a 4-digit code. (Suggest to use a number that is familiar to them.)
  4. Enter the 4-digit code by using the SEEK/SCAN and TUNE rocker buttons. The numbers will start at 0000 and will increase on the display each time the corresponding side of the rocker button is pushed.
    1. Press the down arrow side of the SEEK/SCAN rocker button to change the left digit.
    2. Press the up arrow side of the SEEK/SCAN rocker button to change the second to left digit.
    3. Press the down arrow side of the TUNE rocker button to change the third to left digit.
    4. Press the up arrow side of the TUNE rocker button to change the fourth to left digit.
  5. Push the AM/FM button. The display will show "REP" (repeat), requesting the 4-digit code to be entered again to verify correct entry.
  6. Again, enter the same four-digit code, using the SEEK/SCAN and TUNE rocker buttons.
    1. Press the down arrow side of the SEEK/SCAN rocker button to change the left digit.
    2. Press the up arrow side of the SEEK/SCAN rocker button to change the second to left digit.
    3. Press the down arrow side of the TUNE rocker button to change the third to left digit.
    4. Press the up arrow side of the TUNE rocker button to change the fourth to left digit.
  7. Push the AM/FM button to store the code.
  8. The display will show "SEC" indicating the radio is armed and the radio will return to normal operation.

If the radio displays "Err1", "Err2", or "LOCK", then the radio was already in the secure state and is armed with a different code than the one that was entered. Proceed to the appropriate part of this Theft Deterrent section to deactivate the system if deactivation is desired.
