VEHICLE SECURITY
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, liftgate, and the keyless push button
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also
monitors movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed,
interior switches for door locks are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash

NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle
with the key fob and lock the doors.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position. 2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/orpassenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry door handle with a valid keyfob available in the same exterior zone

Ú
page 26.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or liftgate) are open, close them.
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
Ú
page 26.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.

NOTE:

The driver's door key cylinder and liftgate
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.
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.

NOTE:
The alarm does not disarm when the doors are
unlocked by inserting the blade of the emergency
key (found inside the key fob) into the door
handle lock cylinder.

the vehicle Passive Entry system if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other
electronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the
Passive Entry system from locking/unlocking
the vehicle.
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in
a slower response time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and (if equipped) will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side

completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the open/close button again.
VENTING SUNROOF
To bring the roof into vent position, push and
release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated
regardless of the position of the sunroof. When
starting with the roof in the closed position,
pushing the vent button automatically causes the
sunroof to open to the vent position. If the roof is
already open, the button must be held until the

button again.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE

The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle
during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed.

RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.

NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, make sure the sunroof glass is fully closed
(sunshade open).
2. Open the driver’s side door, and place the ignition in the OFF position.
3. Within five seconds, place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
4. Within 10 seconds, push and hold the sunroof close switch (forward). After
8 -10 seconds of holding the switch, the
re-initialization process will begin. Continue
to hold the switch while the sunroof motor
cycles, and the sunshade will fully close.
5. Once the sunroof glass and the power sunshade have stopped motion, release the
sunroof close switch, then push and hold it
again within five seconds. Continue to hold
the switch while the sunshade fully opens,
the sunroof glass fully opens, followed by the
glass fully closing then the sunshade fully
closing.
6. Release the switch once all of the operations stop. Re-initialization of the sunroof motors is
now complete.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the Keyless Push Button Ignition in the
ON/RUN position. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the
power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
CAUTION!
Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun roof
if there is snow or ice on it: you may damage it.
