Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Description and Operation: Notes

The content theft deterrent (CTD) system, when armed, is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the CTD System does not affect engine starting.

An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the CTD System armed:

• When the liftgate or liftglass has been opened without the use of the keyless entry system or without first being unlocked.
• When any door is opened without first being unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter.

The components of the system are:

• The body control module
• The door ajar switches
• The liftgate / liftglass ajar switch
