Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal.
Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.
The indicator light, on the instrument panel near the windshield, indicates the status of the system: Off : Alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid : Vehicle is secured during the delay to arm the system. Fast Flash : Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the hood, or the trunk is open. Slow Flash : Alarm system is armed. Arming the Alarm System
1. Close the trunk and the hood.
Turn off the vehicle. 2. Lock the vehicle in one of
three ways: . Use the RKE transmitter. . Use the Keyless Access
system. . With a door open, press the
inside Q. 3. After 30 seconds the alarm
system will arm, and the indicator light will begin to slowly flash indicating the alarm system is operating. Pressing Q on the RKE transmitter a second time will
bypass the 30-second delay and immediately arm the alarm system.
If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the RKE transmitter during the 10–second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated. If a door, the hood, or the trunk is opened without first disarming the system, the turn signals will flash for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event. The theft-deterrent alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key. Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the alarm if it has been activated: . Press K on the RKE transmitter.
. Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Access system.
. Start the vehicle. To avoid setting off the alarm by accident: . Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter or use the Keyless Access system.
Unlocking the driver door with the key will not disarm the system or turn off the alarm. How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If K is pressed on the transmitter and the lights flash three times, an alarm occurred previously while the alarm system was armed. If the alarm has been activated, a message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0 300.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system. The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed. The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the vehicle is turned off. The immobilization system is disarmed when ENGINE START/ STOP is pressed and a valid RKE transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light in the instrument cluster comes on when there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more transmitters matched to an immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly matched transmitter will start the vehicle. If the transmitter is ever damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle. When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on. If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the vehicle off and try again. If the RKE transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another transmitter. Or, you may try placing the transmitter in the transmitter pocket in the center console. See “Starting the Vehicle with a Low Transmitter Battery or Wireless Interference” under Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 8. If the engine does not start with the other transmitter or when the transmitter is in the pocket in the center console, your vehicle needs
service. See your dealer who can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new transmitter programmed to the vehicle. Do not leave the transmitter or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
