Handle
Notice:Do not use the
emergency trunk release handle

when securing items in the trunk
as it could damage the handle. The emergency trunk release
handle is only intended to aid a

enabling them to open the trunk
from the inside.

emergency trunk release handle on
the trunk lid. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the
release handle to open the trunk
from the inside.
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.
In addition to standard
theft-deterrent system capabilities,
this system may also have a power
sounder, and inclination sensor.

Keys, Doors, and Windows 2-17
When equipped with the optional
security package, the alarm can
also be triggered by a change in
vehicle position, such as if the
vehicle is lifted, or by an interruption
of the vehicle's power supply. The
power sounder has an internal
battery. If the vehicle loses battery
power when the theft-deterrent
system is armed, the power sounder
will activate automatically.
Arming the System
1. Close all doors, the trunk, andthe hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the transmitter or the power door
lock switch. The indicator light
on the instrument panel should
come on and stay on for about
30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, or after
Qis
pressed again, the alarm system
will arm, and the indicator light
will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating. If a door, the hood, or trunk is
opened without first unlocking with
the transmitter, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will sound 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 activate if the doors are locked
with the key.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either unlock
the doors using the transmitter,
or start the vehicle with a
recognized transmitter in the
vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
.Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking the driver
door with the key will not disarm
the alarm.If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
Kon
the transmitter, or start the vehicle
with a recognized transmitter in the
vehicle. The alarm will not stop if
you unlock the driver door with
the key.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition

three times, the alarm was activated
while the system was armed.

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 the pushbutton start
is activated to enter the ACC/
ACCESSORY mode or the ON/
RUN/START mode and a valid
transmitter is present in the vehicle.
The security light, in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.The system has one or more RKE
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE 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
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the transmitter pocket
located in the center console. See
“NO REMOTE DETECTED”
under
Key and Lock Messages on
page 5‑36. If the ignition modes will not change
with the other transmitter, your
vehicle needs service. If the ignition
does change modes, the first
transmitter may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
RKE transmitters. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see
“Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 2‑3.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
