General Information
The following regulatory statement
applies to all Radio Frequency (RF)
devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note:Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized use of the vehicle by
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be enabled
or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the Engine
Immobilizer system identifies the code
transmitted by the key. If the code is
recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during
starting, the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (refer
to "Warning Lights And Messages" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel"). This condition leads to the engine
turning off after two seconds. In this
case, switch the ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is still blocked, try with
the other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact an
authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/
Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed
while driving, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact an authorized dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the protection
function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must
be stored by the system's control unit.
Contact an authorized dealer to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with a
code.

SECURITY ALARMSYSTEM
Alarm Activation
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/trunk lid
(perimeter protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which
is not validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection —
if equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the
vehicle (anti-lift protection — if
equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the turn signals.
Note: The alarm system is activated by
the Engine Immobilizer system, which is
automatically activated when you get out
of the vehicle with the key fob and lock
the doors.
To Arm The Alarm
With the doors, hood, and trunk lid closed
and the keyless ignition system placed in
the STOP position, push and release the
lock button on the key fob. The alarm can
also be armed by pushing the Passive Entry door handle button, located on the
exterior door handle. For further
information, refer to "Passive Entry" in
"Doors.”
When the alarm is armed, the warning
lights on the panels of the interior front
door handles will flash.
The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic signal.
If a second acoustic signal is emitted
after the alarm is already armed, wait
about four seconds and disarm the alarm
by pushing the unlock button. Verify that
the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed
correctly and then rearm the system by
pushing the lock button on the key fob.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even
when the doors, hood, and trunk lid are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
system operation. In this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
To Disarm The Alarm
Push the unlock button to disarm the
alarm. While disarming, the following
operations are performed:
Two brief flashes of the turn signals
(if programmed)
Two brief acoustic signals
(if programmed)
Doors are unlocked
